ProtectSoldier usually comes from fake online anti-malware scanners and has to be manually installed. The home page of Protect Soldier is protectsoldier.com [Figure 2]. The rogue program can enter a computer from fake video websites too. Such websites usually look like Youtube or other better known video websites. Once installed, ProtectSoldier will simulate a system scan and show premeditated infections. It will also hijack Internet Explore and identify safe websites as dangerous. Not to mention that it will flood your computer with fake security alerts like every minute and state that you are badly infected.
