Total PC Defender description

Total PC Defender is a rogue anti-spyware program which is also a clone of Desktop Defender 2010 scam. It comes along with a trojan which leaves a backdoor for parasite to enter.  It acts like legitimate security application. This is only imitation of a anti-spyware tool. It is not able to provide any security actions.

Parasite is distributed online and is difficult to avoid if one does not employ a reputable security software. This malicious program shows numerous warnings, security alerts, because it starts fraudulent scans and it is its way of making user to believe their computer is infected. It can also offer you to pay small fees for buying a „full“ version of Total PC Defender. This is all scam. Do not purchase it. Choose reputable anti-spyware application and terminate the parasite instead.
