Over the past week or so I have found a program folder that I have not loaded. It is bProtectionForWindows. Has anyone any idea where this has come from and what it does?

Does any of this look familiar? Screenshots and Removal (from BeepingComputer)

Windows Background Protector is a fake rogue anti-spyware program

Have a look here. It's suggested to run Free Malwarebytes in normal and safe mode.
