Contrary to its name, Best Malware Protection is no protection from malware – Best Malware Protection is malware itself! As a copy of many other similar rogue anti-malware programs, Best Malware Protection recycles the same fake system alerts with no regard for the real state of your PC. Best Malware Protection also alters the Registry without permission as a way to run automatically and fakes scans that claim your computer is full of malware. Best Malware Protection will try to get you to buy Best Malware Protection to fix problems that don't really exist, but Best Malware Protection's registered version is equally malicious and should never be purchased.

Best Malware Protection... the Best at Infecting Your Computer!

Visiting dangerous websites or websites that host dangerous advertisements, downloading suspicious files or having a related Trojan infection can all cause Best Malware Protection to appear on your computer. Best Malware Protection is identical to other known threats from the FakeVimes family like Privacy Guard Pro, PrivacyGuard Pro 2.0, Extra Antivirus, Fast Antivirus 2009, Presto TuneUp, Windows Security Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Packed.Generic.245, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, Live PC Care, PC Live Guard, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus and Smart Security. Best Malware Protection can be acquired from the same sources as Best Malware Protection's kin.

Installing Best Malware Protection intentionally or accidentally will result in Best Malware Protection starting up right along with Windows, since Best Malware Protection alters your Registry to make itself a forced part of your PC's startup routine. In addition to scans that always tell you that your computer is seething with malware, you'll see messages like these:

Security Center Alert
To help protect your computer, Security Center has blocked some features of this program.
Name: Win64.BIT.Looker.exe
Risk: High

Security Center
Unauthorized remote connection!

Insecurity Internet activity. Threat of virus attack
Due to insecure Internet browsing your PC can easily get infected with viruses, worms and Trojans without knowledge, and that can lead to system slowdown, freezes and crashes. Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information. To get full advanced real-time protection for PC and Internet activity, register your anti-virus software.

Every last one of Best Malware Protection's errors is out of sync with your computer's real health and should be completely ignored. In fact, Best Malware Protection actually uses these to block certain essential security applications that could be used to fight off malware. If you really want these warnings and alerts to go away, you need to remove Best Malware Protection!

Protecting Your PC from Best Malware Protection

If you're having trouble deleting Best Malware Protection, faking registration by inputting the code 'U2FD-S2LA-H4KA-UEPB'. This can reduce the threat's attacks and may make it less troublesome to get rid of Best Malware Protection and related malware.

No matter how you try to remove Best Malware Protection, you should always insure that there aren't any running malware processes when you try to delete the infections. This is usually achieved simply by rebooting into Safe Mode with the F8 key, which places you in a startup mode that only uses a bare minimum of necessary startup processes.

You should assume that Best Malware Protection is still present on your machine until you've rebooted and performed a malware scan that shows no evidence of Best Malware Protection's existence. Many types of malware like Best Malware Protection can recover from an incomplete deletion after a reboot, but if you don't see any problem after you've restarted, then chances are good that you're home free.
