I really wonder why there have been lots of fake anti-spyware lately that specifically target French, English, Italian, and German victims. Well, there are and APcDefender is one of them.

APcDefender is a malware that relies on another to enter your system. You guessed it right … trojans! I would avoid downloading codecs, mp3s, Flash updates, or even drivers from relatively unknown websites. They’re usually the main sources of trojans.

If the trojan is successful, it will be able to launch the initial form of APcDefender. There’s another? Yup! We’ll get to that later. To set the stage for the ultimate form of APcDefender, the first will attack your Windows System Folders and Registry. This will be followed by a bombardment of pop-ups, notifications and other fake alerts. Some notifications may even warn you of imminent cyber attacks targeting your system.

All these are meant to persuade you to purchase a “full-version” of APcDefender. Yes, this is the ultimate form I mentioned earlier. The idea is that it is the only solution to all those pesky alerts. Naturally, this isn’t true. If you fall for it, you’ll be opening your gates to a massive invasion of malware … and there won’t be a PC defender to stop them.

Symptoms Of Infection

• Your computer is acting slow. APcDefender slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.

• You are getting pestered with pop ups. APcDefender infects your registry and uses it to launch annoying pop up ads out of nowhere.

• Searches are redirected or your homepage and desktop are settings are changed. This is a symptom of a very serious APcDefender infection.

Dangers Of Infection

Viruses like APcDefender will infect your registry and other important system files. If the infection is not treated it can cause a complete collapse of your system.

Some APcDefender infections contain spyware and keyloggers which can be used to record sensitive data like passwords, credit card, bank account, and social security numbers. The longer you allow the infection to fester, the greater the chance of identity fraud.
