Security Defender is a rogue anti-spyware program that is closely connected to win32/defmid trojan that usually comes undetected. In addition, after being installed it uses fake scan results and false security alerts as a method to make you think you are infected with viruses. It impersonates Windows Defender which is a legitimate anti-spyware program. The rogue simulates a system scan and reports fake infections. It then prompts to pay for a full version of the program to remove the threats. Actually, it just tries scams you out of your money.

These warnings will state that your computer is infected or that someone is trying to hack your computer and then suggest you purchase Security Defender to protect yourself. Some of the fake alerts:
