How to remove SaveDefender?
What is SaveDefender?
SaveDefender is a rogue anti-spyware application released by the same group of malware creators who have developed SafetyKeeper, SaveDefense, WiniBlueSoft and other rogue programs from the WiniSoft family. The misleading program will create many files with random names on your computer and later detect these files as serious infections or system security threats. SaveDefender will then ask you to purchase the program in order to remove found infections. Do not buy this program and remove SaveDefender from the system immediately.
SaveDefender enters a computer with the help of downloader trojans. The trojan virus will also download a Rootkit to your computer. The rogue program can also be promoted through the use of fake online anti-spyware scanners, browser hijackers and other malicious software. Once installed, Save Defender will (falsely) alert the user on the existence of a variety of infections. Furthermore, it will constantly display fake security alerts and notifications stating that your computer is under attack by an “Internet virus”. The fake infiltration alert reads:
Security Center Alert!
Infiltration Alert!
Your computer is being attacked by an Internet Virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper or similar.
If you find that SaveDefender is installed on your computer, please use the removal guide to manually remove this misleading application from your PC.
