Defense Center is a new rogue anti-spyware tool and a clone of General Antivirus and Internet Antivirus Pro. Advertised through the use of Trojans, Defense Center is able to pop up fake security alerts about infections that supposedly inhabit your machine. When you click on these alerts, Defense Center will be installed on your computer and automatically be configured to run when you start Windows. When running, it will scan your computer and display a variety of infections that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the program.
Actually, Defense Center can not remove any actual infections because it's not developed on a legitimate antivirus engine. On the other hand, though, ignoring Defense Center in your system will soon turn its obsessive pranks into a major system disruption and further malware invasion resulting in getting your privacy violated. Therefore, it's highly recommended to remove Defense Center once you spot its signs on your computer.
