What Is Windows Pro Defence?
Windows Pro Defence is a rogue security program that belongs to the FakeVimes virus family. It is created by hackers to mess the target computer and steal money from unwary users. Victims may get this infection from free online scanners, spam email, corrupted programs etc.
Once successfully installed, Windows Pro Defence will add its malcode to the registry entries to run automatically. On every startup, it runs false scan of the machine and reports that there are tons of infections. If users trust its scan alert and try to remove the threats, it will lure them to pay for its so-called licensed version. In reality, the infections are nonexistent. It is just a tactic of Windows Pro Defence. So please don’t fall into its trap, not to buy its license. It cannot protect any computer from being attacked.
Just like any other fake antivirus, Windows Pro Defence makes slower of the computer, including starting up, opening a program, internet speed, as well as other performances. It may block some system functions, hijack browsers, terminate processes and disable legitimate security software. That’s terrible. If you meet Windows Pro Defence and leave it on your computer, it will be a disaster. Once detected, you should remove it without any delay.
