Much like any other rogue, Smart Defender PRO uses misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing its license, which costs $30 and doesn’t really change anything.
Upon entering the system Smart Defender PRO floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system.
