Remove Personal Protector rogue antispyware

Personal Protector GUI ScreenshotPersonal Protector is a part of the same ‘workshop’ of rogue antispyware tools that gave birth to such a nasty scareware application as Personal Guard 2009. Personal Protector does not differ much from its predecessor clone so we are expecting a rush in its aggressive malvertising in the near future. Personal Protector tends to install onto computers without the user’s knowledge and consent. When inside the host OS, Personal Protector configures it to run its executable Personalprotector.exe at each system boot/reboot. Then, Personal Protector will bombard you with its fake spyware detectoin reports. Consequently, Personal Protector wants you to pay for its license to remove virus threats you don’t have. You’d better remove Personal Protector before it achieves it bad goal.
