Protectionways.com is a browser hijacker, which is a variant of Zlob Trojan. Trojan.Zlob hijacks your homepage and redirects your IE homepage to "http:// Protectionways.com". Protectionways.com displays fake Warning messages stating that your computer is infected by W32.Myzor.fk@yf Trojan, for instance, which is not a real Trojan, and then it asks you to purchase other Trojan related rouge security programs such as, MalwareBurn, Antivirus Golden, VirusHeal, AntiSpyware Shield and so on. If your PC is hijacked by Protectionways.com, then all your personal and financial may be in jeopardy because Protectionways.com transfers back and forth information from the infected computer which makes it a potential for data security risk.
