Many of today’s trojans install fake antivirus programs that actually try to dupe you into purchasing a so-called full version. Total PC Defender is just one of them. If you’re fond of downloading freebies from the Web, you should start worrying because you might have ended up downloading Total PC Defender along with them.

Once Total PC Defender is downloaded, it immediately attacks your computer system’s Windows registry. That way, it could be launched immediately after boot up. In a worst case scenario, it can even hijack your legitimate antivirus program in order to operate undetected. That’s right, only a clever but evil mind can think of something like that.

But just when you thought you’ve heard the worst, think again because Total PC Defender will then just be getting warmed up. It will proceed by launching friendly-looking pop-ups, notifications, and perform system and hard disk scans. Then it will announce that your system has been compromised and that the only way to regain control is by installing the full version mentioned earlier.

That’s when the fun begins … their fun, that is. The full version of Total PC Defender will do nothing at all but milk you of your hard earned money.

Symptoms Of Infection

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

• You are getting pestered with pop ups. Total PC Defender 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 Total PC Defender infection.

Dangers Of Infection

Viruses like Total PC Defender 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 Total PC Defender 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.
