Are you one of those gullible Netizens who have fallen for the fake antivirus called Malware Defense? Well, if you keep on downloading codecs, mp3s, drivers, antivirus tools, and system tools, pretty soon you’ll have Malware Defense in your system … and it won’t defend your computer from any malware at all.
Malware Defense finds its way into your hard drive through trojans in the guise of all those downloadable software mentioned earlier. It then attacks your Windows registry to gain full control. Once it has total control of your computer, it then launches fake popups and notifications, some of which even come from the Windows task to look like legit alerts.
In really serious cases, Malware Defense can even take control over your legit antivirus programs to prevent them from taking action. Its notifications typically announce the presence of malware in your system (aside from itself, of course!) and urge you to download a so-called full version of Malware Defense to get rid of the threats.
The threats are not real but you’ll never know unless you’ve read this article. That is why other people have already been duped into purchasing the full version of Malware Defense, a useless program that does nothing at all.
