ScreenshotWinPC Defender is a rogue anti-spyware program. Once executed, WinPC Defender will generate false messages stating that your computer is infected with spyware. The makers of WinPC Defender seek to goad into purchasing their promoted full version of WinPC Defender. WinPC Defender is reported to be a clone of XP Police Antivirus, WinDefender 2009, Total Secure 2009, and IE-Security. WinPC Defender will also display notifications of imaginary security risks in its attempts to get the user to purchase the full version. WinPC Defender may be difficult to remove manually, and may continue to try to recreate itself.

  • Vince says:

    Is there no legal recourse against these clowns? Lost productivity at the least would bankrupt them. Plus, they can be banned from running businesses, etc. There's no way that this garbage is legal.

    Also, is there a free tool that will get this? I downloaded Malbytes or whatever and it jams up in the installation process. I'm pretty sure that WinPCDefender is actually blocking it!

  • John says:

    Thanx for the info.. I cant believe there are companies who would basicly infect your computer to get you to buy there product.. I mean is there any legal way to get them to stop.. Isnt it illegal to invade your privacy or destruction of private property?

    It is just rediculas that I HAD to buy a new antivirus to get rid of this WinPC Defender bull.
