System Defence is an extremely harmful rogue security application which emulates the workings of a real security tool. This rogue does not have the ability to detect or remove any threats from the system, but is instead only interested in getting as much money out of its victim as possible. Although System Defence may seem to be legitimate, this rogue certainly does not have any of the abilities it professes to, and certainly cannot detect or remove any type of threat from the system.
Users will not even be aware that their PCs have been compromised by this rogue until it is too late. The first symptoms will not be obvious until System Defence has securely ingrained itself into the PC and lodged its attack against the system. It makes use of popular infection tactics to secure this and once ready will start its attack against the PC by launching a fake security scan of the system.
This fake security scan will inevitably yield rubbish results and was designed to spook the user into thinking that his system is being attacked. This scan was developed to seem legitimate and genuine so as to further gain the trust of the PC owner before convincing him to purchase System Defence. After the scan concludes System Defence will inform the user that his PC is being overrun by numerous distressing infections, and that the user should buy System Defence in order to stave off these attacks.
The PC owner will soon after start receiving incessant pop up messages acting as security notifications informing him of the same thing. Some of the pop ups to be on the lookout for read as follows:

Symptoms associated with the System Defence infection range from users being unable to launch any application on the infected PC as well as being unable to connect to the Internet. System Defence will also cause severely poor system performance and increased erratic system behavior. It has been reported that numerous system folders are hidden from users and that Desktop items are randomly created and deleted to confuse the user and any installed security software.
The only way you will be able to protect your PC from the damage System Defence will cause, and to restore its security and privacy will be to obliterate System Defence at the earliest opportunity. Do this with the help of a powerful security tool which will not only erase System Defence but also protect your PC against similar attacks in future.
