What is Data Protection
Data Protection is a rogue security software and belongs to the same family to which software like User Protection and Digital Protection had belonged. Like its predecessors, Data Protection also takes hostage of your computer and displays lots of fake warnings and alarm messages that your computer is infected with lots of malware and spyware.
The unsuspecting user believes these fake warnings and purchases the full licensed version of this crap piece of software. But the fact remains that it is a malware in itself and cannot do anything to enhance the securiy and protection of your computer.
Please do not fall in its trap and take any action like purchasing it.
Instead, you can take the help of following steps for the removal of Data Protection from your computer.
