System Progressive Protection Removal Guide

System Progressive Protection is a computer infection from the Rogue.WinWebSec family of rogue anti-spyware programs. This program is classified as a rogue because it deliberately displays false scan results, hijacks your computer so that you are unable to run your normal applications, and displays a constant stream of fake security alerts that state your computer is infected. This rogue is distributed via three methods. The first method is hacked web sites that contain malicious code that attempts to exploit vulnerabilities on a visitors computers. If it can successfully exploit a vulnerability it will install the program without your permission or knowledge. The second method is through the use of fake online anti-malware scanners that pretend to scan your computer and then state you are infected. It will then prompt you to download System Progression Protection. The final method this rogue uses are Trojans that pretend to be software required to view an online video.
