Sys Defence (aka SysDefence) is menacing software that can drive any computer user crazy if it installs onto his/her computer. Sys Defence comes from the WiniGuard family which, unfortunately, keeps on getting refilled by new rogue antispywares with amazing frequency – the latest such rogues were IGuardPc, Guard Pcs and TheDefend. Sys Defence does not need to observe any conventional rules for program installation – it doesn’t ask for your permission when intending to get onto your PC, nor does it even notify you of such intensions. A widespread way of Sys Defence trespassing is the use of fake virus scan domains, phony video codec downloads and misleading alerts that pop up out of the blue when you are online. Whichever method you became a victim of Sys Defence through, the rogue will do its best to make you buy its license afterwards. Sys Defence will issue multiple warning messages and run its worthless scanners – in order to show you that you have serious security issues that need to be looked into and promptly taken care of. Then, Sys Defence tells you that unless you purchase its full version you will be unable to resolve these problems and remove the supposedly found infections. You should get rid of Sys Defence instead of following its recommendations. Sys Defence program is rogue so it must be avoided.
