PC Defender Plus is a fake virus detector that pretends to be a legitimate antivirus program. It is also a malware program that exposes the computer or laptop system to serious security and efficiency risks. This fake antispyware can affect a computer’s registry and cause several problems with efficiency and computer speed. An antivirus or antispyware program is supposed to be a program to help protect a computer from malicious programs or viruses. PC Defender Plus is a fake program that doesn’t protect your computer but instead exposes it to various risks. The rogue tool is also used by hackers to track the PC user’s keystrokes and browsing history so as to steal personal information.

PC Defender Plus is also a fraud antivirus that deceives the PC user into purchasing a useless licensed version. As soon as the rogue program gets on a person’s computer system, it would start to generate fake notifications of detected threats. These pop ups and notification of threats and viruses are meant to scare the PC user. As soon as the PC user tries to use the rogue application to clean or remove these fake threats, it prompts that they buy the licensed version of PC Defender Plus.

The threats and notifications are all falsely generated and so purchasing the licensed version is just waste of money. This scam application doesn’t have any virus or spyware database and so is totally useless and ineffective. There is really no licensed version and entering your financial details to pay for the licensed version means that your payment information has been stolen by the hackers.
