Albinosdefender.com

Albinosdefender.com is a website that sells the rogue anti-virus program Albinos Defender. Although albinosdefender.com pretends to be owned by a legitimate software company, albinosdefender.com has been confirmed to distribution malware and albinosdefender.com's customer support can be charitably described as nonexistent. Even visiting the albinosdefender.com website can subject your PC to drive-by-downloads and other attacks and all contact with albinosdefender.com should be considered risky. If you suspect that an albinosdefender.com infection is on your computer, it's recommended that you switch to Safe Mode and scan your PC with a competent anti-virus program to delete all albinosdefender.com software.

The Albinosdefender.com Web Ring of Security Scamware

Just as Albinos Defender is a copy of other rogue anti-virus programs, the albinosdefender.com website recycles most of its format and functionality from other websites that are maintained by the same criminal group. Albinosdefender.com is full of nothing but praise for Albinos Defender, a fake anti-virus program that can only create false infection warnings like the sample shown here:

"Albinos Defender Firewall Alert! – Scanning of your system is currently on, please waiting until the end. Your system affected by numerous virus attacks, Albinos Defender Firewall Alert recommends you to install proper software to protect your computer?"

These pop-ups will attempt to redirect you to albinosdefender.com, so that you can purchase a fully-registered version of Albinos Defender, but this is an utter waste of money, since both versions of Albinos Defender can't detect or delete any kind of infection. Our SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found that this doesn't prevent albinosdefender.com software from continuing to create pop-up alerts and other erroneous data that deceive you about your computer's health and update status.

Advanced variants of albinosdefender.com's rogue anti-virus products may also attempt to hijack your web browser and redirect it to albinosdefender.com, disable your real security programs or alter your security settings to make your PC more vulnerable. Although such attacks are difficult to stop while an albinosdefender.com infection is active, Safe Mode or a storage device-based boot will let you use Windows and bypass Albinos Defender's startup routine.

Walking Through the Full Row of Albinosdefender.com's Identical Allies in Crime

SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have also found that albinosdefender.com infections may also result in attacks by affiliated rogue security programs or websites that are used by the same criminals. These malicious applications and sites should be easy to recognize once you're ready for them, since the primary thing that changes from one to the next is only the name.

For example, Securitysolution2011on.com, Ultimate-scan.com, Defenderunlimited.com, Clean-security.com, Ultimate-guard.com, Unlimguard.com and Unlimdefender.com are a few of the other websites that market rogue anti-virus programs that happen to be identical to Albinos Defender. As is the case with albinosdefender.com, the rogue AV products also match their names to the URLs of their home websites: the Unlimited Defender clone of Albinos Defender is sold at unlimdefender.com, Ultimate Guard at ultimate-guard.com, and so forth.

The presence of any one of these rogue security programs on your PC should be considered a moderate security risk, and contact with any website that's affiliated with albinosdefender.com is no better than visiting albinosdefender.com itself. If you've accidentally given your credit card information to any of these websites or to albinosdefender.com, canceling your credit card is the only way to insure that you will not become a victim of fraudulent fees for fake software.
