What is RegProtech?
RegProtech is a potentially unwanted program or a PUP in short. Such applications may have undesirable or irritating qualities that might make a user wish to get rid of it even if he installed it himself. In this case, the tool could seem annoying because it might ask users to pay to remove results identified during a free scan. Besides, the software may not even work anymore as it could not launch during our tests. We suspect it might have to do with the fact that the server RegProtech used to connect to, is currently unreachable. If your version no longer launches or you simply do not want to keep a PUP on your computer, we invite you to check the deletion instructions available at the end of this article. The comments section below the instructions is where you can place your questions about the application or its removal.

Also, users might receive them after interacting with unreliable advertisements or after being redirected to questionable web pages.
