How to Remove Internet Defender (Uninstall Guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Internet Defender is a rogue security application that runs a system scan for viruses and reports false threats to frighten you into thinking your computer is infected with Trojans, viruses, spyware and other type of malware. The rogue program displays fake security warnings and annoying pop ups stating that your computer is being attacked from a remote machine or that additionally installed software can steal your passwords and other sensitive information. Internet Defender is a piece of malware designed to rip people off. The bad guys behind this rogue program hope that you will believe your computer is badly infected and pay for the full version of the software to clean your PC. Internet Defender impersonates the legitimate Microsoft anti-spyware program called Windows Defender. This rogue AV makes its way to the system with the help of fake online scanners and Trojan horses. It is obvious that Internet Defender 2011 is a complete scam. You shouldn’t install or purchase this scareware. And if you somehow ended up with this malware on your computer, please follow the steps in the removal guide below to remove Internet Defender from your computer for free.



Internet Defender is a clone of Security Defender. We wrote about it two weeks ago. The graphical user interface and self-defense mechanism hasn't changed much. The rogue program uses randomly names files and web browser hijacking to block legitimate security related websites and malware removal tools. Here are some of the fake security warnings it displays:

Internet Defender
Spyware.IEMonster process is found. The virus is going to send your passwords from Internet browser (Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Outlook & others) to the third-parties. Click here for further protection of your data with Internet Defender.

Internet Defender Firewall Alert
Suspicious activity in your registry system space was detected. Rogue malware detected in your system. Data leaks and system damage are possible. Please use a deep scan option.

Although, it is possible to remove Internet Defender manually, we do not recommend doing so. First of all, it drops randomly named files into ApplicationData (Win XP) and ProgramData (Win Vista/7) folders. It could be rather difficult to identify and delete each malicious file from your computer. Secondly, Internet Defender can download additional malware onto your computer. That's why you should definitely scan your computer with anti-malware software. Last, but not least, if you have already purchased this phony security program, you should contact your credit card company and dispute the charges stating that Internet Defender 2011 is malicious software. If Internet Defender is installed on your computer, you should remove it immediately. Please follow the removal instructions below. If you have any questions or comments for us, please let us know. Good luck and be safe online!

Anti Vira Av disables legitimate security software and blocks malware removal tools saying that they are infected. The rogue program hijacks Internet Explorer. It displays fake security warnings and notifications about critical system infections and dangerous attack from a remote computer. These alerts are all fake, of course. AntiVira Av pressures you to purchase software that actually won't protect you and won't remove threats from your PC. Hopefully, you can use real anti-malware applications to remove AntiVira Av and related malware from your computer. We've got the removal instructions to help you to remove this scareware for free. Please follow the steps in the removal guide below.



AntiVira Av is a copy of Antivirus .NET. It changes LAN settings and configures your computer to use a proxy server that displays a fake security warning instead of requested website. The rogue program will also randomly open web pages containing explicit/adult content.

Internet Explorer Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!
Most likely causes:
- The website contains exploits that can launch a malicious code on your computer
- Suspicious network activity detected
- There might be an active spyware running on your computer

Here are some of the fake security alerts that you will probably see if your computer gets infected with AntiVira Av:

Antivirus software alert. Virus attack!
Your computer is being attacked by an internet virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper or similar.
Threat: Win32/Nuqel.E
Do you want to block this attack?

Windows Security Alert
Windows reports that computer is infected. Antivirus software helps to protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.

When the rogue terminates the program it displays the following error message:

Security Alert
Virus Alert!
Application can't be started! The file [program_name].exe is damaged. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?

AntiVira Av related websites: poprog.net, shopllbo.com. The fake av redirects users to one of these websites to purchase a license of AntiVira Av. As you can see, there are three versions of this malware: AntiVira Av Limited, AntiVira Av Plus and AntiVira Av Full. Thesafepc.com is also related to this fraud.



Antivira Av runs from your Temp folder. It's a single, randomly named file in a randomly named folder. In order to remove this rogue security from your computer you will have to restart your computer in safe mode with networking, disable a proxy server and download malware removal tool. For more information, please follow the removal instructions below. If you do get duped into installing this rogue program, don't panic. And do not hand over any money. If you have already purchased it, please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. If you need help removing Antivira Av, please a comment. Look out for this piece of malware. Good luck and be safe online!

How to Remove WhiteSmoke Translator (Uninstall Guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

A few days ago we received an email from our friend explaining that a program called WhiteSmoke Translator mysteriously appeared on his computer and he doesn't know how to get rid of it. After a fair bit of research, we learned that WhiteSmoke Translator is "an all-new application that enables you to take any text from any text-based application, and automatically translate it into a destination language". We also found many complains about this program on popular tech support forums. Finally, we found a sample of a Trojan (MD5: c5a4a504e73fda80390b630643d580b9) that drops WhiteSmoke Translator and some other adware/malware onto your computer without your consents. Whitesmoke Translator appeared on our computer along with several new desktop icons including one called "Improve Your PC" which pointed to a web page promoting Uniblue RegistryBooster 2011. We installed this software on your test machine too. It found 81 moderate registry errors. We were prompted to change our default search provider to whitesmokestart.com in Internet Explorer. If you somehow ended up with this misleading application on your computer, please follow the steps in the removal guide below to remove WhiteSmoke Translator and any related malware for free.

WhiteSmoke Translator hides translated words behind its advertisements. You have to close advertisements to see the translation which is kind of annoying.



Unlike other adware or potentially unwanted applications, WhiteSmoke Translator can be removed using the Add/Remove Programs control panel. However, we got an error on attempt to uninstall this program saying that some of the files are locked by rundll32.exe process. We had to end the process in order to uninstall this program.



WhiteSmoke Translator and Uniblue RegistryBooster 2011 icons:



The user is prompted to change the default search provider or keep using Bing. Please see how misleading it looks "Change to Yahoo (www.whitesmokestart.com)".





"Improve Your PC" icon links to a web page where you can download Uniblue RegistryBooster 2011.



Such software distribution methods are unacceptable. If you got with this malware, please scan your computer with anti-malware software. To remove WhiteSmoke Translator, please follow the removal instructions below. Let me know if you need any help with malware. Just leave a comment. Good luck and be safe online!

WhiteSmoke Translator removal instructions:

Download recommended anti-malware software and run a full system scan to remove this adware from your computer.

All these website, except hydra-networks.com, use the same web template which is an almost exact copy of liutilities.com process library.

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Just a few days ago we reported finding the Windows Antispyware Solution scareware and today we came across another three different names for basically the same Trojan that pretends to be legitimate security software: Windows Problems Remover, Windows Health Center and Windows Shield Center (and there are even more names, see list below). It's not especially noteworthy because we have posted multiple articles about this rogue program in a last few months. The rogue program impersonates legitimate security software, reports false scan results and asks to pay for a full version of the program to remove the threats. It blocks other programs on your computer and displays fake security warnings. If you somehow ended up with Windows Problems Remover, Windows Health Center or Windows Shield Center malware, please follow the steps in the removal guide below to remove it from your computer. Please read our previous post about Windows Security & Control for more detailed analysis. The methodology and removal instructions are basically the same for this rogue program not matter how it calls itself. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Good luck and be safe online!
