SmartProtector

SmartProtector or Smart Protector, is a useless program that falsely warns you that your computer is under attack. SmartProtector claims that it will eliminate this threat but funny enough it does not. SmartProtector only takes up space on your hard drive while it does not perform any assistance for fixing issues on your computer.

SmartProtector 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.

    None of these things work at all. This software keeps regenerating.
