SystemDefender Threat Level: SystemDefender is a pest

SystemDefender screenshotSystemDefender is the latest rogue anti-spyware. You might have downloaded SystemDefender from a website, or a Trojan installed SystemDefender onto your machine. SystemDefender may give you exaggerated security scans and/or popup fake security alerts to try to scare you into buying SystemDefender. This SystemDefender popup may read:

“WARNING! SystemDefender has detected 61 SPYWARE objects on your computer!
Malicious objects found on your computer, if not cleaned immediately, are likely to lead to:
Window slowdowns, freezes, and crashes
Computer unpredictable or erratic behavior
Your internet surfing privacy violation
Your local and online access passwords theft”

Everything SystemDefender says is right — only it should be warning you to remove SystemDefender.
