Datprot.exe
Datprot.exe is the core malware component of the rogue antispyware program Data Protection. Datprot.exe enters the compromised computer via a malicious Trojan which creates a backdoor on the system. Datprot.exe imitates a system scan and claims that your computer is infected with all sorts of malware and that you should purchase the full version of the program to remove the infections. While datprot.exe is running, it will flood your computer with nag screens, fake security alerts and notifications from your Windows taskbar. Remove Datprot.exe and all other threats associated with the Data Protection cyberscam immediately.
