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.
