Digital Protection is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Your Protection . This rogue is installed on your computer through the use of Trojans that display fake security alerts on your computer that state your computer has a security problem. When you click on one of these alerts, Digital Protection will be installed on to your computer without your permission or knowledge. Once Digital Protection is installed, it will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Also installs on a computer that is not properly protected

You can get it from downloading files that are affected with it (yes, limewire and porn can have it) or by going on an unsafe site that makes the virus automatically download itself on your computer.





I'm happy that you have found a way to get it off, and I hope that you will learn to use a software of some sort that checks files for viruses before you download them. (Firefox does that automatically)
try malwarebytes or superantispyware
