APCProtect is a fake security application which is actually a malware. APCProtect is distributed online at various corrupt websites which promote A PC Protect as a real antivirus software. It may also be downloaded and installed by trojans without the user's notice.

Once APC Protect boards the computer it imitates the actions of legitimate system security programs such as scanning the computer or displaying warning messages. However, all of the threats found by A PCProtect are false. The program usually depicts legitimate files as infections and suggests removing them. This might cause serious system problems and dysfunctions. APCProtect requires purchasing its license to provide system security so it may also cost you money. Do not trust this fraud and remove it as soon as it appears on your computer.
