DriveDefender Image
DriveDefender is a rogue spyware removal application that pretends to be a legitimate and reliable anti-spyware application. Usually, DriveDefender is installed by a Trojan Zlob, through browser security exploits, or may come bundled with other malware. Once it is installed, DriveDefender will attempt to goad you into buying the full version of DriveDefender program by displaying fake warning alerts claiming that your PC is infected. It is very difficult to remove DriveDefender manually because it has the ability to reappear after the removal.
