Windows Protection Tool Removal Guide

Windows Protection Tool looks like a malware and spyware removal tool.

The computer program is a scam, whose only function is to inveigle you into registering the application, which, of course, cost money. Windows Protection Tool is as unreliable as Windows Protection Booster, Windows Antivirus Booster, Windows AntiBreach Helper, etc. The rogue program in question is attributed to the Rogue.VirusDoctor family; hence, do not even think of spending money on the fraudulent program. You should remove Windows Protection Tool from the system because this is the only way to regain access to the system.
