How to remove TheLastDefender?
What is TheLastDefender?
TheLastDefender is a rogue spyware removal program released in March 2008. The most probable ways of TheLastDefender infection are rogue codecs and Trojans, such as Zlob and the non-intelligible toolbars that plague the internet, lately.
Once functional, TheLastDefender generates pop-ups and false system notifications informing you of a supposed infection. These pop-ups, when clicked, lead you to a trial version of the program and you are given the opportunity to perform a free scan, which generates a false and exaggerated report, saying there are numerous threats on your system.
When you try to dispose of these threats, you are then asked to buy the full version of the program, which will enable you to proceed with the removal of the non-existant threats. Needless to say, the full version is just as fake as the trial.
TheLastDefender‘s homepage is rather humble: there isn’t a lot of content and the little that there is doesn’t seem to be meaningful at all: it is all written for the purpose of convincing people to buy. There is the usual lack of logic here and there and there are a few ludicrous claims, but what really gives away the fact that TheLastDefender is a scam, is the fact that you won’t find any contact information aside from a form that you can fill out: it is just not something a respectable and legitimate company would do.
Do not download or buy TheLastDefender, if you have it – remove it and block thelastdefender.com using your HOSTS file.
