Bytedefender Security

Posted: August 9, 2010

Bytedefender Security is a fake security program. Bytedefender Security is sometimes installed automatically through a Trojan horse or malicious website download. After installation, Bytedefender Security is known display several annoying popup notifications in an attempt to warn the computer user of an infection. Not only is the message completely bogus, but BytedefenderSecurity does not provide any way of removing the parasite it supposedly detected.

Bytedefender Security should never be used for detecting and removing parasites. Instead, use a legitimate spyware removal tool to completely remove Bytedefender Security from the system.
