Security Protection
Security Protection Description
Security Protection is the latest entry in the System Tool family of rogue security programs. The skin that Security Protection uses is different enough to make the program appear unrelated to typical System Tool clones, but Security Protection will use the same attacks that other members of the System Tool gang are known for. Problems related to Security Protection include blocked applications, fake infection warnings and browser hijacks. You should never purchase a Security Protection activation or registration key; instead, delete Security Protection from your PC by using appropriate security software.Security Protection – Part of a Family That Capitalizes on Poor Advertising
Security Protection is a recent addition to a burgeoning group of threats; this group’s most notable member is System Tool, but other members include System Tool 2.20, System Tool 2011, Security Tool Protect Your PC, Home Personal Antivirus, Advanced Security Tool 2010, XP Deluxe Protector, Spyware Protection and Security Central.
All threats that are related to Security Protection and System Tool imitate the superficial details of anti-virus and security programs by pretending to offer privacy services, firewall settings, and virus detection functions. However, Security Protection can’t detect or remove viruses or other PC threats, and pop-up warnings like the samples you see below are all fake:
Security Protection Warning
Your PC is infected with dangerous viruses. Activate anti-virus protection to prevent data loss and avoid the theft of your credit card details.
Click here to activate protection.
Warning: Your computer is infected
Windows has detected spyware infection!
Click this message to install the last update of Windows security software…
Security Monitor: WARNING!
Attention: System detected a potential hazard (TrojanSPM/LX) on your computer that may infect executable files.
CLick [sic] Yes to download official intrusion detection system (IDS software).
Security Protection Warning
Intercepting programs that may compromise your private and harm your system have been detected on your PC.
Click here to remove them immediately with Security Tool.
Since the warnings and alerts don’t contain accurate data, their only real purpose is to send you towards the Security Protection homepage, which will request your credit card number to purchase Security Protection’s (nonexistent) threat-removal capabilities.
The Side of Security Protection that It Hides from You
Security Protection may show Security Protection’s fake anti-virus features brazenly, but Security Protection’s other and more genuinely potent features are hidden from you. Security Protection may also:
- Block programs from launching, with or without fake errors that tell you that the program is infected. Security Protection will do this primarily to stop you from using anti-virus and security programs.
- Hijack your web browser to redirect you to the Security Protection domain or other malicious websites. Browser hijacks can also create fake errors to block websites, play advertisements or change your browser settings.
- Run without your permission every single time that Windows starts. Attempts to close Security Protection may result in failure, since threats from the System Tool family can hide themselves as background memory processes.
Some System Tool-related rogue security programs can be deactivated with the freely-circulated registration code ‘WNDS-S0DF5-GS5E0-FG14S-2DF8G,’ which may be useful during uninstallation. Safe Mode or booting from a CD will also help neuter Security Protection’s attacks, although you should still resort to proper anti-virus software to remove Security Protection from your PC.

Guys no worries about it,its easy to fix just follow the given locations above and just simply delete those random characters. Don’t forget to boot your computer to safemode with networking before doing that,so that there is no pop-up.

very hard to remove this program. Tried safe mode and deleted the files but somehow the program came back after reboot. my norton would not detect or remove it. your spyhunter download detected it right away. going to register and give it a try. thanks for being honest with your program malware remover.
THANK YOU FOR SPYHUNTERS
GOOD LUCK..!
First a big THANK YOU to Doug. This virus landed on my computer this past weekend. I am not a tech person so this was beyond frustrating. Within a few hours the virus wreck havoc and I could not even open anything on my desktop let alone my browser. Thank God I located Doug’s info and this site before I was completely locked down. Just as I was about to give up I decided to back up my files assuming I would have to get help. 50% into the preparation of the files I stopped it because I assumed I was backing up the virus. Believe it or not when I restarted the computer I could open my browser and then proceed with the instructions to delete this virus. Try this if you are locked out and hopefully it will work for you. Doug’s instructions worked like a charm and I have my computer back. Thanks again Doug.

How much is your product to remove Security Protection?
Security Protection wont let me surf the net. It wont even let me open up some of my files. It keeps saying "warning: your computer is infected" .. I don’t get it, infected with what? Seems to me Security Protection is not real or it is the real infection itself. Going to try your Malware Scanner. Keeping fingers crossed!
I am abandon in this situation, Security Protection is closing down all of my web browsers when I try to open them. If I can remove their program I could download trendmicro from my account and have my hard drive back. Help Steve
