How to remove RegistryDefender?

What is RegistryDefender?

RegistryDefender is a rogue registry cleaner – a fake registry error remover, which uses trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. This parasite relies on misleading advertising to get the user to buy it’s "licensed version".

Once inside and active, RegistryDefender will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him that his registry contains errors. This information may or may not be true, but the fact remains that RegistryDefender is in itself an infection and has no ability to detect errors, let alone remove them. Therein lies the whole point of the scam – to convince the users they have registry errors and therefore need a program to dispose of them.

RegistryDefender.com, the home of this scam, is full of exaggerated claims about registry errors and undeserved self-praise. What it doesn’t provide, however, is contact information or a legitimate payment system for that matter.

RegistryDefender is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.

As soon as the victim downloads RegistryDefender trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, RegistryDefender offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, RegistryDefender 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.
