Many users have heard of a program like Surfing Protection. What kind of program is this? How does it appear on a user's computer? How to completely remove it? After reading this article, the user will cease to be frightened if such unwanted software appears.
Tricky Programs
The time is already passing when the user needed to install some program on his own to infect the computer with a virus. The era of malicious applications has come that can be installed independently, without the knowledge of users. Their distinguishing feature is that it is almost impossible to get rid of them using standard methods. Surfing Protection belongs to this class of programs with invisible installation. What kind of program is this and is it necessary to get rid of it? First you need to understand what its purpose is.
What is the program for and is it worth it to delete?
To find the installed program, you need to go into the running processes and look at the entire list for something similar to the name of the program. If there is something like Surfing Protection among the processes, what does it mean? The utility still got to the computer. The problem is that users rarely enter the task manager, and some do not even know about its existence. Antivirus does not consider such a process as a danger, since it is not a virus in the literal sense.
You must understand that the problem of the presence of such a process on the computer is only for those users who have installed Advanced SystemCare antivirus. Any anti-virus system contains several modules that are responsible for specific tasks. The Surfing Protection utility monitors all Internet traffic passing through the computer’s network card. It is also known that download analysis is also a feature of Surfing Protection. What is this function? If a potentially dangerous file or page is detected during download, this module will block the one that will cause it to suspect.
It turns out that this program looks quite useful and there is no need to get rid of it. But it happens that due to the working process there is a strong decrease in system performance. Then you need to get rid of it. This will not affect the security of the computer, since in return you can install normal anti-virus software.
What needs to be done in order to get rid of the program?
The first action is to uninstall the main program. What kind of program is Surfing Protection? This is part of SystemCare antivirus. Its removal is done in a completely standard way: this can be done either through the control panel or directly in the directory in which the antivirus is installed. A standard uninstall program starts, which guides the user step by step to the goal.
If it turned out to be a virus
But this also happens - such an application is not found in the Program Files folder. This fact is direct evidence that the computer is infected with virus software. Now it makes sense to launch the Task Manager, find the corresponding process in it, and then go to the root directory in which this file should be located. After removing it, you must scan all local drives on your computer with a high-quality antivirus.
If after that the process still works, the following method may work: you need to reinstall the antivirus software. It will replace all modules that are infected with safe files.
The most radical way to remove Surfing Protection, reviews of which are more negative than positive, is to completely reinstall the operating system. But it comes to such a step very rarely. Typically, the above steps will help you deal with the problem.
