Please take this "Defense Center Support" off my system or at least explain how I can reject this program and delete it from my computer system. You said, you do not want offensive language in this comment. Well, I feel this was very offensive and intrusive to me and my computer system. I did not ask for this nor do I want it on my system. You leave no way possible, except by activation, to get this off my system and I have no intentions now or in the future to purchase this product.

Hello AH,

We are not in any way associated with Defense Center or the creators of that rogue anti-spyware application. It appears that your system has been infected with a Trojan that continues to keep Defense Center installed. Even if you were to delete Defense Center, your computer may still have the Trojan installed on it. We recommend that you run a scan with SpyHunter to detect any malicious files that may be running on your computer.

I should have known better but I had NO IDEA that these "DIRT BAGS" had taken over my computer!!! Once they invaded I had no choice but to believe they were legit because my system was totally at their mercy. Like a fool (or an ignorant SOB) I ordered their anti-virus download and ran it for almost 2 days...I ended up trashing my hard drive. I called my bank and the company (scum bags) had no phone number assigned to the charge. I'm going to make ANOTHER complaint to my bank and file a dispute to the charge, but I'm pretty sure that they will tell me that there is nothing they can do...so I guess it's $70 up the cow's behind!!!!

All I want is to make it known that if these jack-holes are ever found, I want my money back and I want to be (at least) second in line to run my foot up their behinds. It's criminal to say the least and I hope they all rot in HADES!!!!!!

Thanx alot....Theiving DIRT BALLS!!!!!

I really appreciate free, sucncict, reliable data like this.
