Paladin Antivirus Description:

Paladin Antivirus is a modified copy of the Malware Defense virus which has been active during the last month. Paladin Antivirus is dangerous in a few ways. To begin with, it enters your PC without any permission of the computer user. Also, Paladin Antivirus claims to detect the legitimate antispyware software installed on the victim’s workstation as malicious thus preventing it from running. This feature of Paladin Antivirus is particularly hazardous because it means you will have some hard time trying to uninstall this actual rogue security tool. After getting successfully uploaded, Paladin Antivirus makes some serious changes to Windows Registry making your system run its process Pav.exe every time the PC starts up. This will call forth many alerts and alleged security scanners which of course have absolutely nothing in common with real virus check procedure. Paladin Antivirus reports lots of parasites on your machine just to push you into installing and registering its full version. Since Paladin Antivirus spoils your computer routine, makes your PC slow and vulnerable, you should take some steps to remove it from your system ASAP (please see the information below to learn how to lose this pest).
