SmartProtectorSmartProtector was found to be very similar to many other rogue applications. The SmartProtector program can be downloaded and installed directly from SmartProtector website which should never be visited under any circumstances. Purchasing SmartProtector is another big no-no unless you have money to burn. We seriously advice staying away from SmartProtector program and website, and if you’re infected remove as soon as possible. | ||||||||
