HIjacked by VirusWebProtect?
VirusWebProtect, also called Virus Web Protect is new wave of rogue hijacker programs (phony antispyware) that infects Pc's with dangerous downloader trojans. The Trojan Vundo and Zlob family usually infects your Computer through adult porn and freeware sites or through its own VirusWebProtect.com website. Once the VirusWebProtect trojans are inside they will overwhelm the desktop with frustrating pop-ups and bogus system notifications of non-existent entries to threaten users to download the bogus VirusWebProtect scanner from www.viruswebprotect.com.
The VirusWebProtect scan will display programmed non-existent threats and system faults and offer the users to purchase the bogus $49.95 paid edition from viruswebprotect.com website. After VirusWebProtect received your payment it will not remove any the threats, instead it will activate and infect your system with further trojans and collect credit card and other confidential private information. VirusWebProtect spyware is a very serous security risk that can disable and damage your Computer system!
