What is Strong Malware Defender?

Strong Malware Defender is a misleading program derived from a family of rogue applications such as AV Security Essentials, Smart Antimalware Protection, Antivirus Smart Protection, and many others. Internet criminals use a similar interface to Microsoft Security Essentials (a legitimate free antivirus program) for their latest rogue program called Strong Malware Defender.

This rogue security scanner is proliferated by large malware networks operated by Internet criminals. Their attacks include various methods of computer infection such as misleading website creation, search engine result poisoning, spam campaigns, etc.

Do not mistake Strong Malware Defender for a legitimate security program - it is useless software created with the intention of selling you a fake license.

When Strong Malware Defender infects your computer, it instantly starts an imaginary security scan, and in this way, attempts to scare you into believing that your computer has serious security issues and that this rogue program is the only method possible to remove them.

What is System Check?

System Check is a misleading program that hides desktop icons and start menu items in order to scare computer users in believing that their computer hardware has malfunctioned. The program differs from typical fake antivirus software, since it employs different tactics to scare computer users.

While a typical rogue anti-spyware program scans your computer for security threats and then displays a fake detection list, System Check mimics a scan of your hard drive and then generates fake warning messages reporting that your computer hardware has malfunctioned and you could potentially lose your data. System Check is a fake computer program.

This rogue scanner is a copy of previous versions: System Fix, Data Restore, System Recovery, and many others.

What is Antivirus Protection 2012?

Antivirus protection is a misleading program that attempts to mimic a legitimate computer security program. This rogue program self-installs on your computer without permission, and then creates random files on your hard drive, supposedly 'detecting' them as being infected with spyware/malware.

Do not trust this program - it bears no relation to a real security suite.

What is AV Security Essentials?

AV Security Essentials is an example of a cleverly-designed scam. This fake antivirus program is derived from a family of misleading applications that includes Malware Protection Center, Antivirus Smart Protection, Smart Antimalware Protection, and many others.

As with these other versions, Internet criminals mimic the interface of the legitimate security program, Microsoft Security Essentials, in their latest fake program called AV Security Essentials. Like its predecessors, AV Security Essentials bears no relation to genuine security scanners and the program merely imitates the processes involved in removing spyware and malware infections from your computer.

What is Internet Defender?

Internet Defender is a fake antivirus program that attempts to mimic a legitimate program called Windows Defender. Internet criminals have ‘borrowed’ the interface of a legitimate security program in order to trick unsuspecting computer users into purchasing a nonexistent license for their fake program called ‘Internet Defender’.

This program is distributed by various misleading methods. For example, your computer could have been infected with Internet Defender via online security scanners or fake program updates.

When installed, Internet Defender will block almost all Windows functions so that you will be unable to use your Internet browser and other functions.

What is Smart Antimalware Protection?

Smart Anti-Malware Protection is a fake computer scanner that attempts to imitate the interface of the legitimate program, Microsoft Security Essentials. The interface, however, is the only aspect bearing any similarity to a legitimate security program - other security functions are merely imitated by Smart Antimalware  Protection.

The security scans and warning pop-ups are generated solely to scare you into believing that your computer is under attack by various spyware, malware, and other security-related infections. Smart Antimalware Protection is a fake program created by Internet criminals to intimidate computer users into buying a useless license key.

What is Antivirus Smart Protection?

Antivirus Smart Protection is a clone of its previous versions, Malware Protection Center, Internet Security Guard, and Home Security Solutions. Like its predecessors, Antivirus Smart Protection is a fake computer security program that attempts to sell a non existent license to unsuspecting computer users.

The core purpose and functionality of this bogus computer program is similar to previous versions: the rogue scanner self-installs on your computer without approval and modifies the registry of your operating system so that you are forced to observe a fake security scan each time you start your computer.

To further scare you into believing that your computer has security issues, Antivirus Smart Protection mimics the detection of various malware and spyware on your computer.

What is Malware Protection Center?

Malware Protection Center is a fake computer security program that attempts to mimic the interface of Microsoft Security Essentials. This fake program is created by those responsible for Internet Security Guard, Home Security Solution, and others.

Like its previous versions, Malware Protection Center bears no relation to genuine computer security programs and contains no virus definition database or features offered by legitimate security suites. Malware Protection Center is a scam created to scare computer users into buying a non-existent license.

What is Internet Security 2012?

Internet Security 2012 is a fake computer security scanner, a rogue program that attempts to imitate a legitimate antivirus program. Internet Security 2012 is derived from the same family of rogue programs as Privacy Protection, Security Protection, and others. Like its previous versions, this bogus program is distributed using misleading methods.

Your computer may become infected with Internet Security 2012 by downloading Flash Player updates from non legitimate sources, or by being tricked into installing it via fake online security scanner pop-ups. When Internet Security 2012 infects your computer, it completely overrides your operating system's settings.

What is System Fix?

System Fix is a fake computer optimizer that attempts to scare computer users into purchasing a fake license. Like its previous versions (System Restore, Data Restore, Data Repair), this fake optimizer employs various methods to intimidate computer users into believing that their computer hardware components have serious issues and that they could lose their stored information.
