System Defender

With all the sophistication invested in rogue security tools, it has become a lot more difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake security tools such as System Defender. This rogue in particular is a nasty infection, and will try and come across as genuine to its victims. This rogue descends directly from known rogues Security Defender and Internet Defender, and is extremely dangerous. The thing is that despite what System Defender would like its victims to believe, it does not have the ability to detect or remove any type of threat from the system, and is indeed nothing more than a harmful infection in itself.

System Defender usually penetrates the PC’s defenses through seditious Trojans which are distributed via fake online malware scanners and surreptitious browser hijacking web domains. Once System Defender roots its infection into the system it will launch its attack against the PC and will not stop until it achieves its ultimate goal or ripping the user off. The user will remain largely unaware of System Defender’s presence until such time that it starts its attack on the system.

In a further attempt to convince the user that his PC has been compromised, System Defender will create various files on the system and then detect them as infected when it scans the system. The files System Defender will create are:

%UserProfile%\\Recent\\ANTIGEN.dll
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\ANTIGEN.sys
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\ANTIGEN.tmp
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\cid.dll
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\CLSV.dll
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\ddv.tmp
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\PE.dll
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\PE.drv
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\PE.sys
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\ppal.exe
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\runddlkey.drv
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\std.sys
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\tempdoc.dll
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\tjd.exe
%UserProfile%\\Recent\\tjd.sys

Users who did not manage to get rid of System Defender in time complained about various distressing symptoms associated with this infection. Some of these symptoms include being unable to launch any type of executable on the PC, as well as integral operational programs such as Control Panel and Windows Task Manager, as well as blocked Internet connections. Others reported increased erratic system behavior as well as poor system performance.

If you want to “Activate” System Defender on your PC, then simply paste the following activation key:

D13F-3B7D-B3C5-BD84

This should alleviate most of the annoying symptoms, and allow you to download a cure for System Defender. Do not think that by merely having entered the above key that you have neutralized this threat successfully, as you still need to destroy System Defender in order to secure your PC.

When all is said and done System Defender will cause more damage to your PC than good. Do not wait until this rogue wreaks havoc on your PC, destroy System Defender while there is still time. This is best achieved through investing in a powerful security tool which will not only erase System Defender from the system but also protect against similar attacks in future.
