ScreenshotProtection System is a fake spyware remover originating from the same family as CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 rogue anti-spyware. Protection System infiltrates your computer via security exploits or backdoors provided by affiliated trojans, and once active, is configured to start running whenever Windows starts up. Protection System will then prompt you to scan your computer. When this fake scan is complete, various false security alert notifications and annoying pop-ups will be triggered, stating that your PC is infected. In order to combat this threat, you must purchase Protection System.
