Win32 Virus Removal

Digital Protection is a virus (rogue anti-spyware) that's got into a lot of computers in the past month. The Digital Protection virus, like all other rogues out there, tries to trick you into believing your computer has security problems so that you pay for the program. However, this is a scam and the only thing you need to do is remove the Digital Protection virus using the steps we'll provide just after we learn more about how this virus got on your computer.

Most of the times, the Digital Protection virus gets on a computer when the user clicks on a fake, Trojan-produced security alert displayed on the desktop. Then it installs itself on your computer without asking for your permission and will automatically start each time your Windows OS loads. In addition, Digital Protection will also try to uninstall some security suites such as NOD32, Norton Internet Security, AVG, Avast and others.

Now, when Digital Protection starts, it will perform a fake scan of your computer, but then stat that you need to buy the full version of the program to remove the viruses it found. Please note that you shouldn't try to uninstall programs based on the reports produced by this scan, as it is a fake one, designed to mislead you and make you pay for Digital Protection.
