PCsProtector is one in a string of fake antispyware programs hitting the Web and wreaking havoc on the systems of unsuspecting users. As with other spyware programs before it, PCsProtector attaches itself to a system when users download a seemingly beneficial audio or video codec. This usually occurs without the user's permission or knowledge.

Once attached to a system, PCsProtector will disrupt normal functioning, compromise the computers security and flood the screen with a series of false security warnings and deceptive scans. Fake warnings will also appear while using Internet Explorer. These tactics are designed to frighten the user into visiting the PCsProtector website, where they are directed to purchase the dangerous software. Do not take this step, as it puts the system at significant risk of lasting damage.

Once attached to a system, PCsProtector can be very difficult to remove and in some cases, the hard drive may need to be wiped completely clean. Some users have attempted to manually remove PCsProtector from their systems. However, experts caution against this. Instead, they recommend that users invest in a high quality, reliable antispyware software like SpyZooka to remove PCsProtector from their system.

There are several antispyware software programs available on the market today. Identifying one that is both legitimate and effective can be tricky. Remember that reliable antispyware software will scan the infected system, identify any existing spyware and remove it.
