TheDefend

TheDefend – they could have at least tried to come up with a better name. But then again, what can you expect from a bunch of mentally deranged hackers? TheDefend is actually just another malware that enters your system by using trojans. That’s why we always tell our readers to be extra vigilant when downloading free codecs, drivers, and antivirus programs.
Once the TheDefend is inside your system, it can very well launch starting from boot up. That gives it total control of your activities. It will annoy you with numerous popups and notifications that really look like genuine Windows alerts. That’s after it has created a number of files in your Windows system folders.
So that when it mentions certain malware names in the popups and notifications, and you try to verify by running a search, you’ll be able to find files matching the names. These files are actually harmless. Of course, people who haven’t read this article don’t know this and will be scared enough to buy a so-called full version of TheDefend, which is also advertised in the notifications as the only way to get rid of the threats.
Now that you know better, you won’t be fooled into buying that useless piece of software.
