PUP.DProtect.A

PUP.DProtect.A is a potentially unwanted application, which may encompass adware capabilities, embed unwanted toolbars or have other uncertain intentions. PUP.DProtect.A is not a malware infection, but it may encompass various damaging characteristics. PUP.DProtect.A may use tricky methods to boost traffic of the particular advertisement website and benefit from the pay-per-click technique. PUP.DProtect.A may access the computer system packed with freeware and shareware applications (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators). PUP.DProtect.A may also be packaged within the custom installer on many suspicious download websites, so if the web user has downloaded a specific application from these websites, he might have also installed PUP.DProtect.A throughout the setup process of the specific application.
