Do know what Windows Protection Maintenance is?
Windows Protection Maintenance can invade your PC and take control over its system so that you cannot remove it easily, which you should do if you do not want to suffer from the damage caused by this obnoxious application. Once installed, the rogue attempts to convince that its full version is necessary to remove Trojan.Win32.Qhost, Trojan.MSIL.Agent and other nonexistent infections. The only infection that should be removed is Windows Protection Maintenance, and you should not delay the removal, because the longer you keep it active, the longer you cannot use the PC normally.
The use of the machine is impossible if the cunning program is present, because some executable files become non-responsive as well as Registry Editor and Task Manager. The two latter utilities are necessary for the manual removal, whereas the Internet connection is vital for downloading a spyware removal application. Do not worry, because even if you cannot access the Internet, you can download an antispyware program onto a spare computer. Once you remove Windows Protection Maintenance, the settings of the disabled applications are reverted to their original mode.
Most importantly, if you delete Windows Protection Maintenance, your computer’s screen will not be flooded with simulated scans presenting imaginary infections any longer. Even if you recognize some of the threats as existing in reality, do not bother trying to remove them manually, because they do not exist on your computer. Consequently, ignore pop-ups balloons saying that you should use a full version of the program to remove the infections detected:
Error
Attempt to run a potentially dangerous script detected. Full system scan is highly recommendedError
Keylogger activity detected. System information security is at risk. It is recommended to activate protection and run a full system scan.Warning! Virus Detected
Threat detected: FTP Server
Ignore these alerts because these are also presented by Windows Active Defender, Windows Maintenance Guard and other rogues associated with the Rogue.VirusDoctor family.
If you want to regain control over your machine and get access to all its parts back, remove Windows Protection Maintenance with a professional malware removal application so that no further damage is caused. It is much better to invest in a reputable product than acquire a rogue application that is capable of stealing your personal data such as your credit card number, CVC2, passwords and other information. A powerful application will terminate the rogue and protect the system against any further infections. Register the fraudulent application (the activation key is given below), download and install an antispyware tool; the rest will be done automatically, because the application will detect and remove Windows Protection Maintenance immediately.

In non-techie terms:
Windows Protection Maintenance is a fraud created to lure Windows users into buying a non-functional “licensed” application that identifies and deletes threats. The malicious application is created by cyber criminals; hence, remove it immediately if you find this rogue attempting to fool you into thinking that your PC is infected.
