Most Common Malware Related Processes-Fvprotect.exe

If you have a copy of the FVProtect.exe file in your Windows folder and an active process with the same name then you have been infected with the Netsky.P worm. The Netsky family of worms is one of the longest running families and each reincarnation includes something new to be avoided or a new method of evading detection by security software. Netsky.P is a mass mailing worm spread by email as an attachment and also through a number of the more popular file sharing networks.

Once installed, it will locate the download folders for any file sharing networks you use and then copy itself into these folders using an alluring name. Other users of the file sharing network will then see this file and download it believing it to be a genuine file. Once they download and open it, though, they will also become infected. Removal is considered easy using antivirus software with the latest download of the definitions database.
