ProtectPcs
ProtectPcs is a rogue security program that uses underhanded tactics to convince you that threats and spyware exist on your PC. ProtectPcs displays alarming security warnings and fake online scans to frighten you, so that you will purchase the product they recommended to remove these threats.
ProtectPcs is actually spyware, and has no ability to scan your PC. Nor can it detect or remove any infection. Malware may affect your operating system, and ProtectPcs may gather information about your online interests and even personal data. This information may be sent to remote servers, where it could be used for malicious intentions. ProtectPcs may place additional spyware on your PC as well.

Manual Removal:
In order to remove ProtectPcs yourself, all running processes must first be killed. It is then essential that all related files and values be detected in the Windows registry so that they can be deleted. Manual removal may result in damage to your PC if not done correctly.
To remove ProtectPcs automatically, it is suggested that you use a reputable antispyware tool such as ZookaWare PC Cleaner, which is designed specifically for this purpose and 100% guaranteed.

ProtectPcs popped up and told me I had all sorts of worms and trojans and wanted me to activate their program (for a cost of course) it had all of Microsofts icons and looked legit but my security programs were telling me I was up to date. It would literally lock up any programs I tried to open and tell me they were infected.
I tried to delete it, but it keeps coming back. Thanks to SpyZooka, now ProtectPcs is gone and my computer works much better.
The ease of installing this product was fantastic. I also like the fact when running, SpyZooka doesn’t slow down the computer at all!
