Once a scan with the free version is complete it will state that numerous items were found, but they can’t be removed unless a user pays for the full version. The free version is considered to be an advertisement for the full version. However, that is not exactly the case since the free version is a scanner only that will not remove what it detects.

The supposed free version is said to scan for and remove adware, browser helper objects, malware, password stealers, rogue programs, browser hijackers, monitoring programs, potentially unwanted programs, key loggers, heuristics, trojans, and riskware. The developer insists that there are 2 versions of the program including a free and registered, or full version. WinZip Malware Protector, also called Malware Protector by Winzip, is advertised as an “ultimate security program that investigates every corner of your PC for threats and vulnerabilities and completely neutralizes them.” WinZip Malware Protector claims to automatically seek and destroy all security threats around the clock to keep your PC and personal data secure.
