Windows Defence description
Windows Defence is a clone of the Defence Center malware. The program presents itself as a security application but the claim is far from the truth. WindowsDefence is a typical rogue tool.
Windows Defence is promoted on several deceptive websites like windows-defence.com as legitimate software. The fraud also spreads with help of trojans and other malware. Windows Defence usually makes its way to victim’s PC secretly; do not download and install this program voluntarily!
When installed Windows Defence brings tons of counterfeit security alerts. Here’s an example of the fabricated warnings:
System Alert! Your computer is infected!
Windows has detected spyware infection! It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss.Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.
Click here to protect your computer from spyware!
Windows Defence does not actually detect any spyware or other infections. It only falsifies the alerts in order to gain a purchase. Do not give your money for scammers and under no circumstances pay for WindowsDefence!
Besides the annoying pop-ups, Windows Defence may bring additional trouble such as hijacked web browser and disabled security apps.
