First use CCleaner to get rid of temp files, then hit it with MalwareBytes. You might also wanna use something like Combofix afterwards just to be sure.

Also it's quite likely that your default search engine has been changed, so go into your browser and check to see if everythings normal.

Yes my default page changed from google to search protect. I changed it in the settings but it came back. I ran ccleaner and then malwarebytes but it did not detect "search protect" as a threat. There is no problem with my pc but i just want to remove this suspicious program always running on my system tray.

There is no option to turn it off or delete it.
