Posted: August 27, 2009

SaveDefense (also referred to as Save Defense) is a fake spyware remover hailing from the same family as SaveKeep, SaveSoldier, WiniFighter and WiniBlueSoft. Once installed, SaveDefense generates fictitious and sometimes grossly exaggerated scan results along with fabricated security alerts, all in order to fool you into thinking your PC is infected. You are then prompted to purchase and download the full version of SaveDefense to combat these imaginary threats.
