VirusProtect 3.9 is a new rogue anti-spyware program, which is a form of fake malicious software engineered by Internet hackers.

VirusProtect 3.9 is a fake anti-spyware program. Do NOT purchase VirusProtect 3.9 under any circumstances since it is a fake anti-spyware software. The following process will help you remove it from your system easily and safely.

Do NOT purchase VirusProtect 3.9 under any circumstances since it is a fake anti-spyware software.

Are you getting popups from VirusProtect? Have you identified that you have VirusProtect installed on your computer? Do you wish to remove VirusProtect completely from your computer?

Why should you remove VirusProtect?

If VirusProtect resides on your computer, it can potentially damage your personal files or you may end up losing data stored on your system. Research has shown that VirusProtect may have the ability to make your computer vulnerable to remote attacks which could result, initially, in loss of money, possibly identity theft, and, eventually, a painstaking VirusProtect removal process.

How can you manually remove VirusProtect

Manual removal of VirusProtect may not be for everyone. Each manual VirusProtect removal step must be followed delicately to completely remove all related files and registry entries from your computer. If you are unsure or have doubts about editing your system registry, then we recommend that you use the automatic VirusProtect removal process.

VirusProtect can be removed manually by following the steps below.

With all programs closed, click the Start Menu and go to the Control Panel.
Locate the Add/Remove Programs icon and double click it.
Locate VirusProtect in the list of programs. If you find it, select it and remove it. If you cannot find VirusProtect, you can continue to step 5.
Restart your computer.
Close all open programs and windows on your desktop.
Open your registry editor (regedit) program by going to Start Menu, type in regedit, and click OK.
Find all of the following registry entries and delete them. If you do not know how to do this, then you can read how to edit the registry in Windows.

If you have issues deleting any of the previously listed files that are associated with VirusProtect, you can try rebooting your computer into safe mode. Booting into safe mode may allow certain malicious files to be deleted. If you are wondering how to boot into safe mode, you can read our process for starting a computer in safe mode here.

Restart your computer. You do not need to boot into safe mode at this point. You should have removed VirusProtect completely from your computer. If you find that VirusProtect is still on your computer, you can repeat the steps again or go to the automatic VirusProtect removal process.

This program is a life saver and really works. I was skeptical because I had tried a bunch of BS Spy sweeper and doctor crap and they all wanted me to buy their sh*t before they could fix the problem. SmithfraudFix.exe is the real deal. Make sure you have this file running from your desktop and not from a cd or flash otherwise you will be staring at french screen that makes no sense. The instructions work perfectly, thank you!
