Internet Defender Removal Guide

Internet Defender is an infamous and well documented rogue security application which is used to rip unsuspecting PC owners off by investing in a bogus security tool. In fact, Internet Defender derives from the very same family of despicable rogues as Security Defender. This is evidence enough already that you are dealing with a maliciously deceitful application which has no intent to offer any type of benefit to your PC.

This rogue antispyware application certainly does not break new ground in infection tactics. This is because Internet Defender makes use of established forms of infection, including using bogus online malware scanners and extremely seditious browser hijacking websites. These browser hijackers employ drive-by download tactics designed to surreptitiously root the Internet Defender infection into the system without the user’s knowledge.

Once Internet Defender roots itself in the system it will be configured to start automatically each time the user logs on to the system. This will then lead to a fake security system scan which will yield utterly bogus results designed exclusively to panic users into paying for Internet Defender’s worthless software. Shortly after being presented with these fake scan results, users will find themselves presented with fake security messages in the form of pop ups. Some of the fake pop up messages to be on the lookout for includes the following:

Internet Defender

It is important to realize that Internet Defender is a only out to rip you off, and that you cannot believe any of the above fake security notifications. Victims of Internet Defender have also complained about being denied access to the Internet, as well as the inability to execute applications on the infected PC. This is done to not only panic the user and frustrate him even more, but also to prevent him from downloading or executing an application with the ability to detect and remove Internet Defender from the system. Each time the user attempts to connect to the Internet, he will be presented with the following fake alert:
