Smart Protection 2012

What is Smart Protection 2012?

You most probably are on this page because there is a strange program sending you tons of security notifications claiming that you have been infected with multiple parasites. If the program in question is Smart Protection 2012 then rest assured – there are no parasites in your computer except for Smart Protection 2012 itself and its components. The ugly truth is that Smart Protection 2012 is a rogue antispyware application and it does not have an ability to remove threats from your computer – it is a dangerous threat itself. We know this because Smart Protection 2012 is a replica of an older fake program Security Sphere 2012.

You must have caught Smart Protection 2012 while roaming the internet, because this rogue usually hides in an infected website or behind a fake video codec download. For example, when you encounter a video player online, you have to be sure that it is not fake. Otherwise the fake video player will tell you that you need to download a particular codec (which is also fake!) to watch the video, but instead of a codec, you would download none the other but Smart Protection 2012.

Not only does Smart Protection 2012 spam you with fake security notifications. It can also terminate your executable and block you from accessing various internet websites. Obviously, in the case of the Smart Protection 2012 infection your computer can become absolutely paralyzed and thus you must remove Smart Protection 2012 from your system as soon as possible if you want to continue operating your computer unaffected.

It has been determined that during the installation Smart Protection 2012 creates a folder in a specific directory. If you have a computer that runs on Windows XP, Smart Protection 2012 will be installed at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, while for Vista and Win 7 Smart Protection 2012 drops its files at C:\ProgramData directory.

Then, once the installation is complete, Smart Protection 2012 launches a fake system scan, "detecting" numerous parasites in your computer, including Win32.Spamta.KG.worm, Trojan.Dropper.MSWord.j, Worm.Bagle.CP and the like. It goes without saying that these detections are not real, and the same can be applied to the messages that Smart Protection 2012 bombards you with:

Warning!
Application cannot be executed. The file notepad.exe is infected.

Warning: Your computer is infected
