Desktop Protector 2010 is a misleading security application that is closely connected to infamous Desktop Defender 2010 malware. Just like its relative program, DesktopProtector2010 uses the same GUI and malicious tactics trying to get unsuspecting PC users into giving their money away. This rogueware pretends to be a reputable application and offers its paid services for fixing all the security issues detected, so if you have already purchased so called “licensed” version of Desktop Protector 2010, you must remember that removing it from your computer is urgently needed.

DesktopProtector2010 appears to be just one more classically created rogue anti-spyware which breaks into through the help of Trojan viruses without any consent of a user. Once inside, malware starts everytime computer boots up and floods the desktop with tons of fake spyware detection reports. Every message informs the user about various threats detected and asks its victims to make a payment for their removal. Don’t follow any suggestion generated by Desktop Protector 2010! This program also imitates scanning the system for viruses and undoubtedly detects hundreds of them. Additionally, the whole bunch of trojans, worms and other malware are reported for the user by loading various pop-up ads, alerts and security notifications.

All this brainwashing, initiated by Desktop Protector 2010, is done just for making people scared and start thinking about a "reputable" anti-spyware program. So called “full” or “licensed” version of this badware does not even exist, so purchasing Desktop Protector 2010 is equal throwing your money out. Please, do NOT support the scammers! Use a reputable antispyware and delete Desktop Protector 2010!
