Vista Smart Defender is a fake anti-spyware application that is produced by cybercriminals to intimidate affected Internet users into believing their computers have been contaminated with various security infections. Vista Smart Defender attempts to persuade web users to buy the nonexistent full version of scareware. The main issue with Vista Smart Defender is that the full edition is, in actuality, the commercial, which will not protect the computer from any type of malware threats. Although the name and interface of Vista Smart Defender may sound and look legitimate, Vista Smart Defender will not defend the computer from security threats or fix computer problems. Vista Smart Defender spreads by using a Trojan that is downloaded from infected websites.
Vista Smart Defender attempts to persuade victims to buy rogueware in order to swindle PC users out of their money. After installation, Vista Smart Defender will start supposedly scanning the PC and create fake scan results to frighten you into believing that you have numerous computer problems because of the existence of various malware threats that, in truth, are imaginary. Vista Smart Defender displays pop-up warning messages that inform you about certain system issues. To remove Vista Smart Defender from the affected computer, ESG's malware research team advises you to use a legitimate anti-malware program.
