Defendersiteblock.com Hijacker Description:
Defendersiteblock.com domain has been giving shelter to a fake browser warning that encourages people to buy the license for Cyber Security rogue anti-spyware program. Defendersiteblock.com is to be avoided for a couple of reasons. First of all, Defendersiteblock.com hijacks Internet Explorer and hence causes browser redirections. Secondly, Defendersiteblock.com makes online surfing unbearable by its annoying and fake warnings. Moreover, Defendersiteblock.com recommends installing a way too bad program to have on your computer. Cyber Security which is being distributed through Defendersiteblock.com is not simply a waste of money – it is capable of disrupting one’s Operating System by messing up the Registry and making it impossible to use System Restore option, Task Manager and even Safe Mode.
BlockScanner Description:
BlockScanner (alias Block Scanner) is a specimen of the WiniGuard family of rogue anti-spyware applications. The recent clone programs of BlockScanner rogue are as follows: SoftBarrier, ShieldSafeness, SoftVeteran, SafeFighter and SoftSoldier. BlockScanner attacks imperceptibly and suddenly – and that’s probably the worst thing about it. BlockScanner literally crawls into one’s cyber environment using trojans, fake online antivirus scanners or other dirty methods. Having penetrated into your computer, BlockScanner immediately disables the security defense and creates some files and registry keys of its own. As a result, Block Scanner paralyzes the system and floods it with its nagging ads (system tray notifications, fake Windows Security Center pop-ups, bogus infiltration alerts etc.). The goal of all that adware is simple – to make you believe your PC is allegedly undergoing a massive virus attack.
Windows Enterprise Suite Description:
Windows Enterprise Suite is a clone of Windows Enterprise Defender, Windows Security Suite and Windows System Suite. Windows Enterprise Suite is dangerous for a number of reasons. First of all, the program installs without your consent and without even notifying you. Windows Enterprise Suite distorts some of your OS parameters and settings so that it can make your system function in accordance with the hackers’ plan. And the plan goes as follows: Windows Enterprise Suite displays tons of deceptive popup alerts and runs its fabricated scans in order to scare you. After receiving that portion of brainwashing, you are supposed to get confused and worried much about your system security. Then, Windows Enterprise Suite offers you to install its full version and activate your own license code. Of course, the above activity presupposes making a payment so be sober and watchful, and refrain from wasting your money for Windows Enterprise Suite malware.
SoftBarrier Description:
SoftBarrier (also known as Soft Barrier) is a dangerous computer program possessing numerous features that allow us to classify it as rogue anti-spyware. First of all, SoftBarrier has the exact same GUI as malicious programs from the so-called WiniGuard rogueware family such as ShieldSafeness, SafeFighter, SoftVeteran and SoftSoldier. Secondly, SoftBarrier installs through backdoor means and tends to use trojan viruses for that. Additionally, SoftBarrier displays a variety of misleading ads (popup alerts, nagging fake scanners and bogus spyware infiltration alerts) in order to make you think you are having serious security problems and badly need SoftBarrier registered software to defend your computer. Please don’t believe SoftBarrier alerts and scanners because they all lead to endangering your system stability and integrity, not to mention the money you waste if you happen to install and register SoftBarrier scam.
Desktop Defender 2010 Description:
Desktop Defender 2010 is not a legit and definitely not a genuine antivirus program. It is basically the same scam as its direct predecessors UnVirex and Contraviro, only this time the blackhat vendors seem to have chosen a more conventional and discernable name for their malicious product. Desktop Defender 2010 installs onto one’s computer without observing the regular authentication rules. So you might not notice Desktop Defender 2010 silently creep inside. When on board, Desktop Defender 2010 deploys some Registry and files manipulations so that the system executes the rogue’s commands. The result is obvious – you will get pounded by the constantly popping alerts that have nothing true with regard to the information they deliver. The pseudo scanners and the exaggerated popup notifications of Desktop Defender 2010 are all about reporting something that isn’t there.
Volcano Security Suite Description:
Volcano Security Suite is an example of malicious and potentially hazardous software that swindles computer users out of their money. Volcano Security Suite is a representative of the malware group that includes Windows Security Suite, Windows System Suite and a number of other infamous rogue anti-spyware applications.

That adware aims to make it obvious that the PC is in danger as it is allegedly full of cyber threats of different types (trojans, spyware, worms, keyloggers etc).
ShieldSafeness Description:
The nasty utility called ShieldSafeness (or Shield Safeness) does not deserve a slightest piece of one’s trust because it deceives people to get hold of their money. ShieldSafeness is one of the approximately 30 rogue anti-spyware programs released within the last few months (!) and referring to the same family – some of them are SafeFighter, SoftVeteran, SoftSoldier.

SoftStronghold Description:
The rogue antivirus program called SoftStronghold (or Soft Stronghold) is no different from its forerunners belonging to the same malware family – those are SoftVeteran, SafeFighter, SoftSoldier, TrustFighter and a whole lot of suchlike insecure programs. However, SoftStronghold seems to be exhibiting very high traffic rates so it’s definitely going to be a major security problem for the cyber world within the next few days, to say the least. Considering the fact that SoftStronghold applies trojan viruses to infiltrate, it does not need any authorization for intrusion. Therefore, SoftStronghold appearance in one’s system is a surprise, and definitely not a pleasing one. When inside, SoftStronghold displays a great number of exaggerated notifications (popup alerts and scanners) that tell you about some odd malware infections allegedly located on your computer. After this, SoftStronghold advises its victims to resolve the ‘malware’ issues through installing its own commercial version.

SoftVeteran Description:
Having analyzed the program called SoftVeteran, we came to the apparent conclusion that it’s another rogue. Here is why. First of all, SoftVeteran is exploiting the exact same GUI, distribution methods, fake online scanners design as its direct clones and forerunners SafeFighter, SoftSoldier, TrustFighter and many others. Secondly, SoftVeteran has absolutely no capabilities to detect or remove computer infections because its database has nothing inside – it’s empty. SoftVeteran has been released to deploy a radically different objective than any regular and legitimate security program. SoftVeteran is just after some money drawn out of trustful users’ bank accounts. The program installs imperceptibly and then tries to produce the impression that the system is at risk. This part of SoftVeteran plan is assisted by its annoying adware (misleading pop-ups, including system tray notifications; bogus system scanners etc.)
