VirusProtect Removal Instructions

Why is it important to remove VirusProtect?

VirusProtect is an illegal and corrupt anti-spyware program!

VirusProtect may look like a legitimate anti-spyware, but it’s created only to scare you into purchasing VirusProtect. VirusProtect may scare you into buying it by overwhelming you with fake alerts or pop-ups. VirusProtect can’t prevent your computer from being infected with spyware — VirusProtect may actually damage your system.

VirusProtect is part of a group of rogue anti-spyware applications which falsely report spyware infections, then offer to remove the alleged spyware for a fee. Rogue anti-spyware applications similar to VirusProtect include SpywareQuake and VirusRescue.

I have VirusProtect, what do I do?

You have many options for detecting and removing VirusProtect. The most extreme is reformatting your PC, possibly costing you all of your data and definitely costing hour of time wasted on reloading your PC to its original form. Reformatting your computer should be your last resort. If you’re having problems finding VirusProtect, try using a preferred spyware scanner to quickly detect VirusProtect first.

Are you infected with VirusProtect?

Your machine may be infected with VirusProtect, if you have the following symptoms:
*Note: Symptoms tend to vary depending on software installed on your system and other system factors.

Symptom #1: A questionable red or green icon appears in your system tray next to the system clock, representing a newly installed program which you do not recall ever downloading. If you click on the icon a fake system alert popup will direct you to VirusProtect’s website. In some cases, even when you don’t click on the icon the fake system alert may still pop up.

Symptom #2: The questionable icon pops up a fake system alert that lures you into downloading VirusProtect program by stating that your computer is infected with dangerous spyware and that you should download VirusProtect program to remove the alleged infection. The false system alert may read:

Warning! Potential spyware operation! Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and Internet files. Run full scan now to prevent any unauthorized access to your files! Click here to download spyware remover…

Symptom #3: Once you’re infected, rogue anti-spyware VirusProtect will run on every time Windows starts up. A screenshot of VirusProtect is provided below.

VirusProtect Manual Detection

If you’ve discovered that VirusProtect has infected your PC, you must act quickly and take the proper steps to eliminating the infection. Note: The manual removal of any parasite is difficult. To avoid the unnecessary risk of damaging your computer, we advise you to download SpyHunter’s spyware scanner tool to automatically detect VirusProtect.

To manually remove VirusProtect, follow these removal steps:

Step #1: Remove VirusProtect with Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.

Sometimes all it takes to get rid of spyware like VirusProtect is to remove the program using the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows.

1. In Windows XP Professional, click on Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
2. In Windows 2000 Professional / Windows ME / Windows 98, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
3. In the list of programs, search for the software you want to remove. If you see a program you don’t recognize or don’t recall installing, look it up in Google to learn what it is.
4. Select the questionable program and remove it with the Remove button.

Step #2: Kill VirusProtect using the Windows Task Manager

To kill a VirusProtect process that has infected your computer, you will need to use the Windows Task Manager to check by process, highlight the process in question, and then end the task. To do this:

1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC on the keyboard.
2. Click on Processes Tab to see all active tasks. For easier detection, left click the process under the heading Image Name.
3. Find and kill the following VirusProtect process:
   VirusProtect 3.9.exe
   VirusProtect_3.9.exe
   VirusProtect 3.8.exe
4. Once you’ve identified the VirusProtect process, press DEL on your keyboard or click End Process to kill it from your system.

Step #3: Use PsKill to Kill a Process

Sometimes a parasite can disable your Windows Task Manager so you can use pslist and pskill (a third party application by Mark Russinovich) to list and kill the unwanted processes.

1. Download PsKill or PsList.
2. Extract the program from the .Zip archive.
3. Move pskill.exe to your C: drive.
4. Open a command window and click Start > Run.
5. Type cmd and click the OK button.
6. In the command window, type C:pskill.exe and the name of the process you wish to kill, then press Enter. For example, if you wanted to kill the process for VirusProtect, you would type: C:pskill.exe VirusProtect.exe.
   If the file was successfully removed, PsKill will say “process VirusProtect.exe killed”.
