Antivirus Defence Virus Is The Latest Rogue Antivirus Software:

Antivirus Defence is a newly-released rogue program that can be downloaded if a user has been opening an unknown email, downloading a malicious program or even visiting pornographic website. This virus pretends itself as a useful security tool to help PC users detect and remove viruses in the computer. It works as similar as the infamous Antivirus Security Pro virus which also uses tricky techniques to fool unsuspecting PC users into thinking their computers are infected with malware threats and Antivirus Defence is the only program that can clean up the computer. In reality, it is not the truth even if this program seems to be a legitimate security program, instead, it’s a fraudulent and useless security tool with the aim of stealing your money. It uses its trick to mislead inexperienced users and persuade them into registering its full version by paying a great amount of money.

However, once you click on any options related to Remove or Quarantine, it won’t allow you to do that until you have registered and paid for the so-called licensed version. Even if this program claims can help you fix all the detected malware threats and other PC problems, you still need to ignore it and try your best to have it uninstalled because any attempts to purchase this rogue will only give your financial information into criminal possession. The virus is rather malicious because it is able to stop your real antivirus from running and it also blocks you from accessing any other executable programs installed on your computer. For example, if you want to go to Internet and search a solution to fix it, instead of Internet explorer browser is opened, you will get an error message saying that “Antivirus Defence Firewall has blocked a program from accessing the Internet. Internet Explorer Internet Browser is infected with worm SVCHOST.Stealth.Keyloger. ” That is really a big trouble if your computer is infected with a rogue program.
