What Digital Protection does
The design of Digital Protection looks like a normal antispyware tool, but in reality, this program can not remove viruses, trojans, etc., nor will be protect your computer from legitimate future infections. Digital Protection created with one purpose to trick you into purchasing the full version of the software.
Digital Protection is promoted and installed through the use of trojans. When the trojan is activated, it will display a lot of fake security alerts and offer to download and install an “antivirus”. The “antivirus” is the Digital Protection.
Digital Protection - scan
Once started, Digital Protection will add itself into Windows registry to run automatically every time when your computer starts.
