Antivirus Defender 2015 is a rogue anti-malware program that mocks the real anti-virus program Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2015 in order to trick you into purchasing its full version.
Antivirus Defender 2015 is no different than most rogue anti-spyware programs. Once it sneaks into your PC, it will pretend to scan your system only to generate a fake list of infections it has “detected.” According to the rogue program, these “infections” are quite harmful to your system and the only way to get rid of them is to purchase the full version of Antivirus Defender 2015.
Of course, many users do fall into the trap – they trust the fake warning messages and follow the instructions to pay the requested fee. In the end, the problem has not been solved because it’s never been there in the first place.
For this reason, whenever you see warnings regarding the security of your system, make sure to check the source. Do not bluntly trust any message you see on the screen.
How Does Antivirus Defender 2015 Infiltrate Your System?
The most common ways for Antivirus Defender 2015 to enter your system uninvited are via spam emails, pop-ups, email attachments, infected websites and notifications that you are a winner.
Also, whenever you download a free program from the Web, you must know that quite often freeware is bundled with various adware and PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) that may serve as backdoors for serious threats to your system. In order to protect yourself, you must not accept or download apps with unclear origin and when you install a free program, simply watch the installation process closely and disable any option that looks unfamiliar to you.
How to Get Rid of Antivirus Defender 2015?
Removing Antivirus Defender 2015 is not hard as long as you use a legit anti-malware program. Do not try to delete or clean your system yourself as you may worsen the situation.
