Your PC Protector is a rogue antivirus program part of the Windows Police Pro and Windows Antivirus Pro family. This program tries to block any type of Microsoft program to any anti-virus and anti-malware suite. This program says that it will protect your computer, but the program does not protect, and use firewall data. Like any other malware, Your PC Protector tries to steal your privacy by asking for your credit card data and use more money than how much it says it has to spend. Anti-malware (like Malwarebytes' AntiMalware) might not be able to remove the virus.
