What is SAntivirus Realtime Protection Lite

SAntivirus Realtime Protection Lite is a program that is advertised as anti-virus software. Its creators claim that SAntivirus can scan the computer, detect security threats, remove the malware found, and also protect the computer from infection. But, according to security researchers, this program belongs to the category of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), since it is installed on a user’s computer as part of various freeware without the explicit consent of the user. Many computer users in various public forums reported that SAntivirus Realtime Protection Lite suddenly appeared on their computer and it won’t uninstall.

Security researchers have determined that SAntivirus scans a computer and finds many non-existent security threats. In addition, this program constantly displays warnings about the need to urgently remove the found threats. To remove these fake security threats, the user needs to buy the full version of the SAntivirus Realtime Protection. Of course, there is no need to buy this program. You need to ignore the fake warnings and try to uninstall SAntivirus as quickly as possible.

SAntivirus Realtime Protection Lite

As we already reported above, SAntivirus Realtime Protection Lite is a program that is most often installed on a user’s computer without explicit permission from the user as part of the freeware installer. So always read carefully the install screens, disclaimers, ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘Software license’ appearing during the install procedure. Additionally pay attention for third-party programs which are being installed along with the main program. Ensure that you unchecked all of them! Also, run an ad-blocking program that will allow to stop shady and untrustworthy web pages.
