What is System Defender?

System Defender is a rogue anti-spyware that belongs to the Virus Doctor family of rogue programs. It is also relate to Windows System Defender which was released three weeks before it. System Defender reaches user systems via online scammers and advertisers who use social engineering techniques to try and get users to download and install the software. Once installed, System Defender will block important Windows utilities like Task Manager and Registry Editor in an attempt to discourage users from removing System Defender manually. It also creates a number of harmless files on the hard drive, later flagging them as dangerous viruses. System Defender performs regular fake scans of the system and warns the user that there are some serious threats. It also blocks legitimate virus scanners and websites with legitimate scanners. System Defender then proceeds to try and convince the user to buy the ‘full’ version of the software, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is insufficient to clean the system of the detected ‘threats’. However, the so-called ‘full’ version of System Defender is in no way more capable than the ‘trial’ version to scan or clean your computer.
