VirProtect is a corrupt anti-spyware application that is a direct clone of the notorious rogue threat VirusProtect. It uses misleading advertising in order to lure users into downloading this parasite, which then harasses its victims by showing them numerous security pop-ups. VirProtect claims to remove spyware, but in truth, it performs fake scans and presents users with falsified threat reports in order to trick them into buying the "full" VirProtect version.
