   it's a bogus product that installs itself on your computer, warns you you're infected, and prompts you to drop $50 on a fake antivirus system.
   
   I need to get rid of it manually (the stupid ca antivirus I have does nothing) and I need help deciding how to do it. I found the following 2 methods:
   
   http://www.removal-instructions.com/removeMalwareProtector2008.html
   
   or the manual process in
   
   http://www.spyware-techie.com/malware-protector-2008-removal-guide/
   
   
   can somebody make sure these methods are legit? I noticed some other people here were infected with the same.
