APC Protect is a typical rogue security application with a label that is meant to inspire confidence.  That is precisely what these authors of malware want to illicit – confidence in their program.

However, APC Protect is a sham.  It will try to entice you to purchase a “full version” or a “license” for the product and once you have done so, you will quickly learn that you have, in fact, purchased nothing.

The enticements come by way of scare tactics.  Fake security warnings and pop-ups that occur randomly are meant to alarm and intimidate the user into purchasing its useless product.  APC Protect comes from the family of security rogues that include, TheDefend, IGuardPc, SiteAdware, AntiTroy, AntiKeep, AntiAdd, RESpyWare, REAnti, SecureKeeper, LinkSafeness, AntiAid or SystemFighter.  These are essentially all copycats of the same program and are meant to do the same thing, which is swindle computer users out of their hard-earned money.
