    It's malware.

    Boot in safe mode (shift key down at startup.)
    Delete the MacProtector application, or anything else you don't recognize.
    Open the Accounts preference pane and delete any login items you don't recognize.
    Reboot as usual.
    If using Safari, open Preferences > General and uncheck the box labeled "Open safe files after downloading."
    Mac Protector is a fake antivirus application. It reports non-existent viruses, so you shouldn't trust it. More information about this malware:

    Good luck!
