Instead of being a utility that protects the Windows operating system, Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 is a fake anti-malware product that detects imaginary system problems as its way of marketing its purchasable full version. Even after being bought, Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 can't detect malware or remove it from your PC, and, in fact, Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 may block other applications, hijack your browser or be complicit in other system problems.

Win 7 Defender Plus 2013: Defending Windows with a Dagger to the Back

Even though Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 looks identical to a theoretically-functional anti-malware scanner, Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 can neither find nor remove viruses, Trojans or other malware infections from your computer. Along with not being a real anti-malware product, Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 is easily identified as a clone of similar scamware programs. Some examples that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers are familiar with include Ultimate Defender, SystemDefender, IE Defender, Advanced XP Defender, XP Defender, WinDefender2008, PCTotalDefender, PC Defender 2008, Personal Defender 2009, WinDefender 2009, Perfect Defender 2009, Total Defender, Malware Defender 2009, WinPC Defender, PC Privacy Defender, Smart Defender Pro, Rogue.UltimateDefender, FraudTool.LastDefender.b and Security Defender Pro 2015. Although these different brands claim to be designed for specific versions of Windows, their primary differences are in their names rather than their code.

Win 7 Defender Plus 2013's main symptoms are its variety of fake warning messages for nonexistent infections, as well as its imitative 'system scans.' Because Win 7 Defender Plus 2013's alerts are designed to be displayed without any regard for any real PC threats on your computer, SpywareRemove.com malware experts always encourage you to ignore them – and, in particular, to avoid purchasing Win 7 Defender Plus 2013.

Some of the other symptoms related to a Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 infection also can include browser redirects that block safe websites and program-blocking attacks that display additional error messages. In particular, the latter may prevent you from using other programs to get rid of Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 until you can disable Win 7 Defender Plus 2013, itself, beforehand.

Getting the 'Defender Plus' Problem Out of Your Windows OS

Instead of being taken as a benevolent virus remover, Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 should be considered a danger to your PC as long as Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 is installed and active. Due to Win 7 Defender Plus 2013's ability to block other applications indiscriminately, SpywareRemove.com malware research team suggests that you try to disable Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 before any efforts are made to delete Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 for good. In most cases, using Safe Mode or an OS that's booted from a peripheral device will allow you to evade Win 7 Defender Plus 2013's automatic startup.

Win 7 Defender Plus 2013 often is installed by other PC threats that may have extra attacks besides the ones included with Win 7 Defender Plus 2013. Although a good anti-malware program should be able to delete Win 7 Defender Plus 2013, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also suggest that you scan as much of as your computer as possible.
