GreatDefender - How to remove

GreatDefender is a rogue anti-spyware application, fake spyware remove tool that has only one goal – to rip people off. If you have seen at least couple of  rogue programs from the WiniSoft family then you will easily recognize that this one is just a rename of the previous programs from that family: SysDefence, TheDefend, GuardPcs and so on (the list is big). There is absolutely nothing new about GreatDefender. Just like the others, it simulates a system scan and displays false scan results and then asks to buy a full version of the program to remove the infections or system security threats. Don’t do that, this is a scam. Uninstall GreatDefender from your computer upon detection using the removal guide shown below.

Great Defender will also display pop-ups or alerts stating that your computer has many security problems and privacy issues. It hijacks Internet Explorer and may even block certain program, usually security related like anti-virus or anti-spyware. Windows OS system tools can be also disabled. In such case, you have to end the main processes of GreatDefender which are: GreatDefender.exe and [RANDOM CHARACTRERS].exe. Then remove malicious files manually or download Spyware Doctor and run a system scan. But don’t forget to update it first. Furthermore, if you have already purchased it, please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.
