How to remove Defence center?
What is Defence center?
Defence center is a Rogue antivirus that appeared after summer 2010 together with Windows Defence. This rogue might be spread by trojans or drive-by downloads, as users reported starting seeing them without downloading anything. Typically, trojans hide in fake video codecs, legitimate software updates served on infected domains, or infected documents. This allows tricking users into installing software on their PCs.
Defence center website does not provide any trials for download, just overpriced versions of full product, which needs to be purchased prior downloading. The website contains unjustified claims: “award winning” (any awards for software that was never seen before 2010? ), best protection, market leaders… It claims that defence center removes viruses in one page, and in next it tells that it will not remove viruses, but only spyware and malware and so on. I would not trust such website.
After Defence center becomes active, it will start showing face security center icon in the taskbar. You will get alerts and warnings about serious problems : hacker attacks, viruses, infected programs, stolen information. Then you are informed that you will have to download and buy full version of this scam to get rid of all these infections. Do not listen to Defence centers messages! It is a phishing scam, and your credit card details will get used for further malware development and scammer holidays.
To get rid of Defence Center you should reboot into safe mode with networking. Disable proxy server, and start msconfig. Disable all the mentioned Defence Center executables, launching from C:\Documents and settings or C:\Users folder. Do a full scan with Spyware Doctor or other malware remover like Malwarebytes.
We recommend having full version of good malware remover like Spyware Doctor to reduce chances of similar infections.

Defence center is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Defence center can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Defence center trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Defence center offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Defence center does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Defence center, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install Defence center, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Defence center, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Sunday September 5th, you or your people hijacked Defence-Center.com site. I beg to draw attention to the fact that defenCe center does not have any relationship to the defenSe center or any others which you’re hunting. The article you posted without examining the issue was found on your site.
We require that you have removed the silly story and apologized to our consumers who were inaccurate enough to see your story. We do not want to be associated with your site, which provides misleading information and intimidate users by lies to spread their products. Also, we’d like to be removed from bases of your products and your partner’s sites.
If you not satisfy our demands we will take legal actions.
Regards.
Robert Doe : it would help if you a) would use real email address in the communication b) would disclose ownership of the domain and creators of the tool. c) Would not use misleading statements on the website (like claiming it removes 100% of spyware/viruses – no tool can guarantee that, especially a tool that is not antivirus (like it is disclosed in another page) ) d) would not be blocked by antiviruses like ESET smart security. . Once it is cleared, we will retest the tool and possibly remove the page.
