I am running Windows 8 on my computer. Whenever I am opening Firefox browser then this AnyProtect comes up everytime. I have already searched in Control Panel but am unable to find this AnyProtect for uninstalling purpose. It will just not go away. I also get pop-up that says connection error - please check your internet connection and press ok. I just want to get rid of this as quickly as possible. Can anyone please help me out. Thanks
