What is Antivirus Defence?
Antivirus Defense is not a security tool which you should trust. In fact, it is recommended that you delete this suspicious program from your personal Windows system without any delay. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, the application is closely linked to such rogue anti-spyware programs as Antiviral Factory 2013, Attentive Antivirus, System Progressive Protection or System Care Antivirus. All of these and many other programs have been developed by the WinWebSec family schemers. They can infiltrate the malicious rogues with the help of fake online scanners or using already existing Trojans.
As soon as the infection is activated it starts sending you false messages regarding allegedly attacking malware which you need to remove. Additionally, the fake AV is set to scan your computer and list a number of non-existent computer threats. The objective of this scam is to trick you into purchasing the full version of a fictitious malware remover. If you fall for the scam and purchase an allegedly beneficial security tool – you may end up installing the application in discussion. Overall, you need to delete Antivirus Defence if it has been installed onto the computer after spending your money on the bogus Windows security software.
How does Antivirus Defence work?
Schemers have many tricks to convince you that your personal computer is under the attack of cyber crooks. They can perform fake computer scans, indicate malware, remove access to certain Windows utilities, disrupt the Internet connection and even block the running of system’s executables. Please see an example of the fictitious notification:

This alert is completely bogus and the information provided by it should not be treated as reliable. If you start thinking that maybe your computer is actually infected with malware presented by the rogue, you may decide to install the first reliable looking security tool you face. Unfortunately, in this case it may be the fictitious Antivirus Defence. If you install the program onto the computer it is possible that all symptoms initiated by the rogue will disappear. This does not mean that your PC is now safe to run. In fact, if you keep the rogue running on the computer, it is likely that various security backdoors will be exposed and schemers will be able to infiltrate secondary malware. Without a doubt, this is not something that you should allow happening because this will lead to a much more complex and lengthy malware removal.
