Heck! What’s the Win 8 Protection 2014? Why was it popping out in front of my computer screen when I turned on the computer this morning? It seems like an antivirus program, cause when the computer was launched, it showed up at the same time, and scanned my disks automatically ! I was stunned at the moment, because I don’t remember since when I downloaded this program, and I have never heard this program before, furthermore, I already bought a year plan for Avast antivirus program. So, for me, this Win 8 Protection 2014 virus is redundant, even an eyesore. However, the most ridiculous is, this program not only forced to scan my PC without my permission, but also showed a scan report under my nose, which claimed my computer was in a high-risk state, it found numerous system vulnerabilities and virus. How was that possible? I have a habit that I will routinely check PC Health status once a week, clean junk files and data something like that. Since yesterday, my PC is still working fine like always. Now this Win 8 Protection thing from nowhere suddenly proclaimed that my PC is very very sick? It’s absolutely impossible! I seriously doubt that Win 8 Protection is a malware, I have been fiddled with it already 2 hours, but still can’t figure how to remove it from my computer.
