PrivacyProtector
is a well known rogue system cleaner. It is downloaded
and installed without the users consent and uses false
detections to persuade users into purchasing the product.
Once PrivacyProtector infects a computer, it displays
an icon with a message, which says the computer is
infected with spyware and asks the user to download
PrivacyProtector program, a malicious program distrubuted
as a spyware remover. PrivacyProtector may change
the desktop settings, hijack the web browser, and
display an icon in the system tray.Also PrivacyProtector
affects users by tracking online and offline computer
activities and then sending this personal, private
data back to their remote servers.
