Vista Defender Plus 2013 is a fake anti-spyware application that is created by web attackers to trick PC users into believing their computers have been infected with numerous security infections. Vista Defender Plus 2013 strives to persuade affected PC users to buy the so-called full version of a rogue program. However, the nonexistent full edition of Vista Defender Plus 2013 will not protect your computer from real malware infections because it is a PC risk itself. Although, at first glance, Vista Defender Plus 2013 may appear a trustworthy security tool, it will not detect and remove any real malware threats from your computer. Vista Defender Plus 2013 is usually spread by a Trojan that is downloaded from unsafe websites. Trojans use security holes and system vulnerabilities to invade the vulnerable computer system. Vista Defender Plus 2013 forces victims to purchase the fraudulent security program and obtain credit card information to extort money from them. After installation, Vista Defender Plus 2013 will run fictitious system check-ups and display falsified pop-up security notifications. Vista Defender Plus 2013 will create and return false system scan results to frighten you into thinking your computer is corrupted by various malware threats. To uninstall Vista Defender Plus 2013 from the victimized PC, ESG's malware research team advises you to use a legal malware removal program that is able to completely remove rogue anti-spyware tools.
