Spyware Removal Instructions

User Protection information:

User Protection is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Paladin Antivirus. This rogue is promoted and installed through the use of malware that automatically downloads and installs it onto your computer without your consent or knowledge. Once downloaded and installed, User Protection will scan your computer for certain legitimate anti-virus programs that may be installed on your computer. If they are detected, Use Protection will state they are infections and prompt you to uninstall them. It does this in order to protect itself from the legitimate programs that may flag User Protection as an infection.

User Protection will then start and begin to scan your computer for infections. Once the scan has finished it will state that there are numerous infections on your computer, but will not allow you to remove them until you purchase the program. The infections it finds, though, either do not exist or are legitimate programs on your computer, which if you remove , may affect the proper operation of the computer. Therefore, please do not attempt to manually remove any of the files it states are infections as you may accidentally delete a legitimate Windows file.

As you can see, User Protection was created to trick you into thinking you are infected so that you will then purchase the program. It goes without saying that you should definitely not purchase this program, and if you already have, please contact your credit card company to dispute the charges. To remove this infection and any related malware, please use the removal guide below.
