There’s a new malware in town that sticks to your system like a leech. It’s called GreatDefender and like a leech, it’s going to suck you dry … of your hard-earned cash if you don’t read what we have to say.

GreatDefender enters your system through a variety of trojans. They can also be inadvertently downloaded from rogue sites that feature online scanners. Once the GreatDefender takes over your Windows system registry, there’s no escaping its pesky pop-ups, notifications, fake scans, and system alerts.

Since GreatDefender installs numerous files into the Windows system folders, it will be easy to be fooled once the notifications appear, claiming that your computer is infected by certain viruses. When you conduct a search, you’ll find the files GreatDefender created. This will lead you to believe GreatDefender is a legit antivirus.

So when the notifications entice you to purchase the “full-version” of this rogue program, you can be easily duped. Well, at least you now know that the so-called full-version is really just a ploy to suck you of your money. Are you going to be fooled? or will you follow our tips on how you can get rid of this evil program? The choice is yours.

Symptoms Of Infection

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

• You are getting pestered with pop ups. GreatDefender 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 GreatDefender infection.

Dangers Of Infection

Viruses like GreatDefender 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 GreatDefender 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.
