Guidelines to Remove Malware

Remove BlockDefense fake antispyware

Published: Saturday, August 29th, 2009

BlockDefense (aka Block Defense) is a new quite predictable malware program maintaining the characteristic features of the rogueware family comprising cyber-impostors called TrustNinja, SaveSoldier, WiniFighter, WiniShield and SaveKeep. Being a typical fake antispyware utility, BlockDefense uses rootkit techniques to penetrate into one’s system without the user’s knowledge and authorization. Once inside, BlockDefense forces its way to the System Registry and System32 folder and creates its own entries in each of those folders, which causes the challenged computer to act weird and issue misleading spyware detection reports. BlockDefense also triggers fabricated system scanners that return deliberated false results to produce upon the user an impression that his/her PC is in great danger because it’s literally flooded with infections of different severity scale. The truth is – BlockDefense reports imaginary threats to scare the user, so do not fall for this scam. All BlockDefense wants is you to download its commercial version which presupposes your purchasing the license. So do not let BlockDefense malware get close to your system and remove the pest at once if located on your PC.

BlockDefense behavior on the infected PC:

If your system is contaminated with rogue anti-spyware, you are likely to encounter the following symptoms:

• BlockDefense slows down your computer and causes occasional PC freezes
• BlockDefense hijacks the homepage and redirects the web-browser to its affiliated malicious websites
• BlockDefense decreases the internet connection speed
• BlockDefense displays annoying fake alerts
• BlockDefense may install a rootkit or trojan in your system

How do you detect BlockDefense on your PC:

Accurate malware detection is an issue of ultimate priority in terms of resisting the infection. Malicious programs can mutate and thus prevent security utilities from detecting the actual threat. The malware residing on one’s PC can also promote other stealthy viruses whose presence is hard to recognize, which makes the detection even more complicated.

If you have good technical skills you can try to get rid of BlockDefense manually.
