System-Defence.com

Posted: October 20, 2011

System-Defence.com is a hostile website that sells scamware products, such as System Defence, and infects visitors with browser-hijacking Trojans that redirect their web browsers back to System-Defence.com. Naturally, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers strongly discourage any contact with System-Defence.com, especially attempts to purchase System Defence, since such an action can allow criminals to abuse your credit card with a series of fraudulent bills. Although System-Defence.com will encourage you through a variety of deceptive means to spend money, including using System Defence to create fake system alerts, you should be ready to ignore System-Defence.com's bad advice and remove any System-Defence.com infections with an appropriately-powerful PC security program.

Tiptoeing Around System-Defence.com's Fraudulent PC Security Assistance

System-Defence.com markets its fake security software by methods that are similar to those of other types of confirmed scamware sites (such as Antivirat.com, Antispydrome.com, Sky-protection.com and eclipseantivirus.com), including the use of browser hijackers. Because even one visit to System-Defence.com can cause your browser to be attacked by malicious software that's downloaded and installed via drive-by-download script exploits, you should do your best to stay away from System-Defence.com and related sites at all times.

SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also warn you to be on guard against fake system scans and pop-up alerts, since these types of simulations often conceal installation packages for fraudulent software like System-Defence.com's System Defence. Symptoms of infection by System-Defence.com predominantly include:

  • The appearance of unusual system alerts, error messages and pop-ups. These alerts may announce that serious PC threats, such as keyloggers, Trojans or viruses are on your PC. Requests to purchase System Defence or a similar rogue security program may also appear on a regular basis.
  • Browser redirects that force you to visit System-Defence.com when you open a new tab, use a search engine or try to visit a PC security website.
  • Blocked programs, especially basic Windows tools like Task Manager, Registry Editor and MSConfig, as well as anti-malware products. System-Defence.com's software may or may not provide an accompanying error message to make it look like the program is being blocked for your safety.
  • Unusual setting changes, especially wallpaper changes that display alarming alerts about spyware, Trojans or other forms of PC threats.

Putting Up a Defense That Makes System-Defence.com Flounder

Since contact with System-Defence.com can quickly result in your PC being deprived of access to security programs, you may be tempted to buy System-Defence.com's scamware just so that you can get back to a normal life. However, this wastes your money without need and endangers your credit card, and so SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend a different solution.

If you find that your PC is displaying any of the above symptoms or has recently come into contact with System-Defence.com, reboot your computer into Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be accessed by tapping F8 during a reboot until the advanced startup options menu appears. After selecting Safe Mode, you can start Windows, scan your PC with a good anti-malware application and delete System-Defence.com's infection. 'Safe Mode with Networking' can be used if you need to install updates or security programs that will let you detect and remove System Defence without fail.
