How to remove Defense Center (Uninstall Instructions)

Defense Center is a typical fake anti-spyware program. It displays fake security warnings like every one or two minutes and states that your computer is infected with malware. Once installed, it will report numerous false system security threats. The rogue program may flag legitimate and safe Microsoft Windows files as Trojan Horses or other viruses. Don't attempt to remove those files. Otherwise your PC won't operate properly. As a typical rogue program Defense Center will prompt you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections which don't even exist. It goes without saying that you should remove Defense Center from your computer as soon as possible. Thankfully, we've got free Defense Center removal instructions to help you. Detailed removal guide is outlined below.



False scan results and fake security alerts shouldn't surprise you because DefenseCenter scareware will do all its best to trick you into purchase the program. It will even attempt to uninstall antivirus software from your computer. If you use let's say Norton Antivirus, then most likely you will see a fake pop-up claiming that your antivirus software is infected and should be uninstalled immediately. Defense Center will even block certain security related websites and block other useful utilities to protect itself from being removed. The text of some fake security alerts are:

"Warning! Virus threat detected!
Virus activity detected!
Net-Worm.Win32 has been detected. This adware module advertises websites with explicit content. Be advised of such content being possibly illegal. Please click the button below to locate and remove this threat."


"Danger!
A security threat detected on your computer. TrojanASPX.JS.Win32. It strongly recommended to remove this threat right now. Click on the message to remove it."


"Warning! Adware detected!
Adware module detected on your PC!
Zlob.Porn.Ad adware has been detected. This adware module advertises websites with explicit content. Be advised of such content being possibly illegal. Please click the button below to locate and remove this threat now."

Also note, that this rogue program is promoted mainly through the use of Trojan Horses. Very often Trojans download TDSS rootkit and other malware alongside Defense Center. That's why we think manual removal is not an options in this case. We strongly recommend you to run a full system scan with at least two anti-malware programs. Below you will find a list of free and reputable anti-malware programs which will remove Defense Center from your computer for good. By the way, if you have already purchased this bogus program, then please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Finally, if you have any questions about this virus, please don't hesitate and leave a comment.

Video ActiveX Object Error scam (Free Removal)

As you may already know, rogue/fake anti-virus programs are promoted and installed mostly through the use of Trojan viruses. There are many fake or infected websites on the Internet. Those websites are the main source of infection. One of such websites is www2(dot)braveguard5(dot)co(dot)cc (please don't visit it!). I took this particular websites as an example, because it displays fake online video player and states that "Video ActiveX Object Error: Your browser cannot display this video file."



Apparently, this fake Video ActiveX Object Error message was made for Windows Vista users, but works for Windows XP users too. This is the first visual sign that ActiveX Object Error warning is fake, because you can't actually expect Windows Vista style pop-up on your Windows XP machine. Once you click "Continue", you will be prompted to download .exe file which supposedly fixes this error. However, in reality, you will get a Trojan Horse instead of working player. This is a very common way how Internet users infect their computers. Remember, if you have Flash player installed on your computer then you don't need any other. Flash player can be downloaded from the Adobe website. Also, if you get a pop-up telling you to update your flash player, please make sure that it's from Adobe.

Finally, if you unadvisedly installed a fake flash player on your PC then you should scan your computer with an anti-malware program. You can choose one from the list below. All these programs are free.
Also make sure that you have solid antivirus program with effective real time protection. Good luck and be safe!

How to remove AV Security Suite (Free removal guide)

AV Security Suite is yet another fake anti-virus program which reports false system security threats, redirects browsers, disables legitimate security software, Task Manager and other tools to make you think that your computer is infected with malicious software. AVSecuritySuite is basically a rename of Antispyware Soft and Antivirus Suite. This fake antivirus program will compromise your PC security. It will state that your computer is infected with spyware, adware and other viruses as well. And of course, as a typical rogue program, it will prompt you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections and to make your computer protected against hacker attacks, identity theft and new types of malware. Thankfully, you can remove AV Security Suite from your computer for free using legitimate anti-malware programs and additional security tools. If you find that your computer is infected with this bogus program please follow the removal instructions below.





Usually, AV Security Suite scareware is installed after visiting an infected site which installs a Trojan Downloader. It later downloads the rogue program on the computer. Once installed, this fake antivirus program will report numerous false system security threats, display fake warnings and pop-ups, redirect searches, disable Task Manager and block legit anti-malware or anti-virus programs. It will even impersonate Windows Security Center and state that you should activate AV Security Suite to protect your computer against malware. Besides, it may block all programs, not only security software. For example, it may block Notepad and claim that it's infected. The fake warning reads:

"Windows Security alert
Application cannot be executed. The file notepad.exe is infected.
Do you want to active your antivirus software now?"

Another problem is that this virus configures Windows to use a proxy server. That's why you will probably see a fake warning about insecure connection or a misleading website instead of requested one. It will block security related websites in the first place and display the following text:

"This website has been reported as unsafe
We recommend that you do not continue to this website. This website has been reported to Microsoft for containing threats to your computer that might reveal personal or financial information."



And of course, you will get the usual round of pop-ups and fake security warnings claiming that your computer is infected with malware or under attack from a remote computer.

"Windows Security alert
Windows reports that computer is infected. Antivirus software helps to protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Click here for the scan your computer. Your system might be at risk now."



"Antivirus software alert
Infiltration Alert
Your computer is being attacked by an internet virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper or similar."

As you can see, AV Security Suite is absolutely needless and potentially harmful program. In order to completely remove this virus from your computer you need to use legitimate anti-malware software. Most importantly, don't buy it! If you have already purchased this rogue program then please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. If you have any questions or additional information about this virus, please don't hesitate and leave a comment.

Protection Center removal instructions (Uninstall Guide)

Protection Center is a fake antivirus program that gives false reports of threats on the computer. This misleading program claims that your computer is infected with malicious software. It constantly displays fake security warnings and prompts you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections which actually don't even exist. ProtectionCenter flags absolutely harmless files as malware. Please don't manually remove any of those files because some of them may actually be Windows system files. If you find that your computer is infected with this virus, please follow the removal instructions below. The good news is that you can remove Protection Center from your computer for free using free anti-malware programs.



Most people are curious how they got infected with Protection Center? Usually, this rogue program has to be manually installed.

"Danger!
