The sad truth is that you need to delete Total Protect from your system immediately if you have this piece of software residing in your computer. It is nothing, but a dangerous rogue antispyware application created to steal your money, by making you think that you are paying for a legitimate product.
The price for Total Protect activation is 75USD. A user is supposed to pay this much by providing Total Protect with his card info: card number, expiration date, CVV2 code, bank name and a full name written on the card. The whole transaction might look absolutely innocent and trustworthy, because there are such signs on the purchase page as “VeriSign Trusted” or “Verified by VISA”. However, the logos are used illegally and they do not stand for what they really ought to mean. Since everything is fake, the purchase is not real as well. The user also loses his money, because with his credit card data exposed, the sensitive information falls into the cyber criminals’ hands, and then they can easily use it to perform various illegal operations. For example, they can process more purchases using your name and little by little emptying your bank account.
If you happen to have paid for Total Protect, contact your bank at once and inform them about the fraud. They will be able to limit the access to your bank account and further money loss will be prevented. From there, you will need to take care of Total Protect.
Not only does this rogue try to steal your money, it also considerably slows down your computer and keeps on sending such messages as this:
Virus Detected!
This file or webpage contains malicious software.
Then it will give you the name and location of the “infected” file. It would be great if Total Protect had the ability to detect infections and viruses, but it is a computer threat itself, and you must erase Total Protect from your system, before it takes over. Do not allow these criminals from the RBN get a hold of your money. You are strongly recommended to acquire a reliable computer security program and terminate Total Protect automatically as soon as possible.
