Smart Protector is a fake security program that is not to be confused with the legitimate security program called Smart Protector Pro that comes from SmartSoft. Smart Protector pretends to be an application that is able to seek out security issues and remove them from your system. In addition, Smart Protector claims to be able to detect and remove viruses and spyware. Through the bogus system scan, Smart Protector is able to mislead computer users to the point that they may purchase a full version of Smart Protector. The full version of Smart Protector is still not able to detect and remove legitimate parasites from any computer.
