Digital Protection

Digital Protection Description

The rogue anti-malware scanner Digital Protection is a copy of other identical rogue anti-malware products like Your Protection and Dr. Guard. Just like those other rogue anti-malware applications, Digital Protection takes over your computer through registry abuse, uninstalls legitimate security programs and displays scan results and pop-up alerts that are completely fabricated. Refraining from removing Digital Protection is a needless risk that hurts the operation of your computer as well as placing your machine in a state of heightened security risk.

Digital Protection is Only a Protector of Malware

Digital Protection usually infects new computers through Trojans that disguise themselves as legitimate Windows infection alerts. Prompts to install security application will drop Digital Protection on your computer. After being dropped, Digital Protection drops entries in your Windows registry, which lets it run whenever Windows starts without requiring your input or permission.

New desktop shortcuts linked to pornography sites may appear on any computer infected by Digital Protection, but these new shortcuts are just mild annoyances compared to this malware’s main attacks. Digital Protection is exceptionally aggressive in countering real PC security programs, and will attempt to uninstall the following applications: Avast!, Agnitum Outpost Security Suite, AntiVir, AVG8, Avira AntiVir, F-Secure, Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, NOD32 and Norton Internet Security.

Don’t Trust the Blips on Digital Protection’s Radar

Each time after your computer reboots, Digital Protection will usually simulate a scan for infections. The results will be crammed full of infections your other security programs will not detect, but that’s because the infections aren’t real! Digital Protection will also display plentiful inaccurate error messages like this:
