Malware Defense description
Malware Defense is a deceptive program which pretends to be a security tool. It’s a typical fraud: it reports nonexistent files as infections and then it offers deleting the “threats” after a victim pays for using the program. MalwareDefense is not something you want to keep and it’s definitely not worth your money.
Malware Defense fabricates various security alerts. It usually reports Internet Explorer and instant messengers as infected and dangerous to use. Don’t trust a single message loaded by MalwareDefense.
Malware Defense causes inconveniences as it generates pop-ups and hijacks web browser. But it also may do serious harm as it redirects web browser to malicious websites. It also blocks regular security tool and this way the compromised system becomes vulnerable to other infections.
