The main purpose of XP Smart Defender is to deceive unaware computer users and pilfer money from them. XP Smart Defender attempts to dupe PC users into thinking their computers are infected with various malware infections. Then, XP Smart Defender strives to induce victims to spend money on the bogus security tool that is allegedly able to repair any malware infections. XP Smart Defender is distributed via Trojans or malicious downloads and enters the corrupted machine secretly without a PC owner's knowledge. When installed, XP Smart Defender launches a supposed system scan and pretends to check the computer for possible malware threats and other security issues. Falsified malware reports produced by XP Smart Defender are used to intimidate victims into thinking their computers are corrupted.
