    This is a VIRUS! this morning two of my neighbours got it at the same time. It hijacked their computer and it’s not possible to get pass the protector scan screen. The people behind this should hang!!! I tried to start msconfig and turned off all startup programs, but one it tried to restart the pc it was back. I even took out the whole hardisk and scanned it with AVG from another pc. It did not find it!!! When trying to search for solutions on this none of the antivirus companies have found out about this (Do they want to???). Anyone found any solutions out there??

    You need anti-spyware to delete Virus Protector. Anti-virus won’t help because it’s meant to remove different type of computer infections.
