Posted: March 9, 2020

Bendant.com is a fraudulent website used to host a wide range of advertisements and online tactics that aim to trick their victims into downloading software that they do not really need. One of the corrupted pop-ups that Bendant.com hosts, displays a fake 'Windows Defender Security Center' alert, which lies to users by telling them that multiple viruses have been found on their computers and they must act immediately if they wish to preserve their data safe.

However, the information that the Bendant.com pop-ups displays is entirely fake, and you can rest assured that a random website is not a good source of information regarding your computer's health and safety. The goal of these particular pop-ups is to trick you into downloading and installing an anti-virus application – however, you will not be downloading a trustworthy product and, instead, Bendant.com may lead you to the download page of a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), or even a rogue anti-malware tool.

Websites that display fake virus alerts almost always promote a shady piece of software whose scanner will tell you that your computer is riddled with malware, and the only way to remove it is to pay for the full version of the product. While it is not clear if Bendant.com promotes a tool of this kind, it is best to avoid downloading any files that Bendant.com brought to your attention.
