Windows Software Protection is a rogue antispyware application that fake errors to make you think that your computer is infected with viruses and has some other problems.
Windows Software Protection blocks other programs on the compromised computer. It blocks web browsers and Windows utilities stating that they are infected and may cause serious damage to the system. Windows Software Protection states that your sensitive data is at risk, privacy is compromised and Internet security disabled.
Windows Software Protection is a scam. It displays fake error messages and security alerts to make you think that your computer in infected. Then it prompts to pay for a full version of the program to clean up the computer.
Removal:
Kill malicious Processes from Task Manager:
- [random].exe
Location of the infection:
- %UserProfile%\Application Data\[random]\
- %UserProfile%\Application Data\[random]\.[random].exe
Registry Entries to be removed. (Take a backup of registry, before editing it)
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce "[random]"
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\msseces.exe "Debugger" = 'svchost.exe'
Although it is possible to manually remove Windows Software Protection, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend malware and spyware removal applications.
After removing all these files, restart your computer and the issue will be fixed. And don’t forget to do update your Security Software, check the Firewall Settings and the Operating System and finally do a full system scan with the Security Software.
