Security Cadets

The latest to roll of the rogue anti-spyware programs production line. This one is a successor of VirusProtectPro and other rogues. Called VirusProtect.

I don’t really have to go into a lot of detail, but to those who are new, I will.

All zlob related rogues auto install after you download and install a codec to watch videos on the internet (and sometimes listen to audio). These codecs are fake.

Once the trojan is installed, you’ll automatically get fake warnings pop-ups in your windows taskbar (your bottom right). The rogue will then install itself, without your permission. Once installed it will automatically scan your system for so called infections. What it finds is the malware that has come with it in the first place. In order to remove it, it informs you that you need to purcahse the software. Please don’t.

This is how it looks like:

Please do not purchase it. Infact we have a free removal guide you can use:
