Virus Protector is a rogue anti-spyware program that is promoted through malware. When the malware installs Virus Protector it will also create hundreds of harmless files with random file names throughout your computer. These files will then be detected as infections when Virus Protector scans your computer. If you try to remove them, though, the program will state that you must first purchase it before it will allow you to do so. This is a scam as the files are created by the rogue in the first place and are harmless to your system. Therefore, do no purchase this program for any of the reasons it may give.
