Smart Fortress 2012 is a rogue anti-spyware program from the Rogue.WinWebSec family. This program is categorized as a rogue anti-spyware program because it pretends to be a legitimate security program, but is actually a program that purposely display false scan results, fake security alerts, and hijacks your computer so that you are not able to run your normal applications. Smart Fortress 2012 is installed onto a computer through other viruses, hacked websites that exploit vulnerable programs on your computer, or through fake online anti-malware scanners that prompt you to install the program. When Smart Protection is installed it will create a malware file in a random named folder in c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, in XP, or C:\ProgramData, in Windows Vista and Windows 7. It will then be configured to start automatically when you login to your computer.
