Malware Protection Live

Malware Protection Live is an anti-malware product malware researchers have classified as being a Potentially Unwanted Program due to the highly questionable accuracy of its threat detection results and warning messages. Although most PC security vendors don't rate Malware Protection Live as being a threatening, rogue product, Malware Protection Live may be a source of outdated or incorrect security information. PC users who see no benefits from this product should consider uninstalling Malware Protection Live with any security program well-versed in dealing with similar PUPs.

The Protection You got without Asking for It

The degrees of difference between a threatening product and a legitimate, but undesirable one sometimes blur more than malware researchers would like to see. Where questionable security products provide no ready benefits but refrain from attacking your PC outright, they typically are noted as Potentially Unwanted Programs, like the recent Malware Protection Live. This anti-malware application is distributed officially at its website, malwareprotectionlive.com, although recent distribution methods for Malware Protection Live also have favored methods that skirt around user consent, such as bundling Malware Protection Live up with other products.

After its installation, either on purpose or accidentally, Malware Protection Live may make changes to your system settings to enable its automatic startup routine. Unlike most security products, Malware Protection Live lacks any notable user interface, excepting a Windows Taskbar notification. Clicking this notification redirects the user to a pop-up, one of Malware Protection Live's stock security warnings. To date, malware experts have found no evidence correlating Malware Protection Live's warning messages with legitimate security issues, including threatening system modifications or infections caused by threatening software.

Just like most PUPs alike, Malware Protection Live uses these warning messages to encourage your purchasing a premium registration process that, in theory, helps repair your computer.

Helping Your PC Live without Malware Protection Live

Even PC users smart enough to avoid questionable security programs may find themselves downloading Malware Protection Live by accident. Recent distribution strategies for Malware Protection Live have been bundling the program with free download applications. With consent for installation options on such freeware often obfuscated by unclear wording or formatting, PC users may want to consider scanning suspicious installer files with PC security tools before launching them.

Most, but not all PC security companies have failed to classify Malware Protection Live as a threatening program. Although Malware Protection Live may not attack your PC, any security recommendations provided by Malware Protection Live should be assumed to be suspect until proven otherwise. Guaranteeing that you've removed Malware Protection Live in full may require using similar security products to those viable for detecting its bundles and installers, in the first place. Malware experts only have confirmed incidents of Malware Protection Live installing itself on Windows machines, with other systems seemingly at no immediate risk.
