Scan.clearedpcsecurity.com is a misleading website that promotes the rogue security program called Smart Protector. Most importantly, do not visit this website! If you were deliberately redirected to this website please do not download any program from it and leave scan.clearedpcsecurity.com immediately. First of all, the misleading website displays a pop-up with the following text:

"'Warning!!! Your computer contains various signs of viruses and malware programs presence.
Your system requires immediate anti viruses check!
Smart Protector will perform a quick and free scanning of your PC for viruses and malicious programs."

No matter what you click in this pop-up, it will supposedly scan your computer and report that the system is badly infected. You will then be prompted to download SmartProtector.exe which is a Trojan virus. More fake alerts that you may see:

"Scan completed
Your computer remains infected by viruses!
They can cause data loss and file damages and need to be cured as soon as possible.
Return to Smart Protector and download it secure your PC."

If you have inadvertently installed Smart Protector scareware, please use the removal guide below to remove this infection from your computer manually for free.
