Comments about this process:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------By Kay 2012-11-04 07:10:40 Sprotector screws up your browser and your search engines. It automatically changes your search engine to searchgboxapp.com which is a search engine hijacker. Uninstall Sprotector as soon as possible. I learn the hard way.

By Fernand 2013-01-24 16:52:08 This program is a virus.
Somehow it got installed on a client's computer and named itself "SaveAs" in the program list, but when trying to uninstall it suddenly called itself SProtector.
This program even blocked a core process of our work environment to keep crashing. Whilst trying to start a program, the program's proces kept crashing within 1-2 seconds. (confirmed by looking into task manager whilst trying to start)
After uninstalling SProtector, the program worked again without a reboot or whatever.
Fix: Delete on Sight
