Remove WinProtector 3.8. Description and removal instructions

 
Title: WinProtector 3.8
Also known as: Win Protector 3.8
Type: Malware
Severity scale:WinProtector 3.8 severity is 81  (81 / 100)
 
WinProtector 3.8 is a new rogue anti-spyware program - a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. This parasite relies on misleading advertising (popups, fake system notifications, falsified system scan reports) to get the user to buy it's "licensed version", which is equally non-functional.

There is no reliable information available on the program or on the company behind it. No contact information is to be found anywhere on the net. WinProtector 3.8 is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it's homepage using your HOSTS file.
