My nephew had security antivirus infecting his pc by garbage software. After the Total PC Defender popped up he was no longer able to access any other program. He has tried to Alt+Ctrl+Delete but a pop up stating administration access is required. He has also tried to reboot his laptop into safe mode but once he restarts my computer then select F8 nothing appears and it takes him straight back to the pop up.
What is Total PC Defender?
Total PC Defender is nothing more but a typical rogue program that displays misleading security alerts and reports false system security threats to make you think that your computer is infected with Trojans, worms and other malicious software. When running, it will imitate a system scan and display numerous infections. Of course, scan results are false. The most annoying thing is that Total PC Defender blocks particular software and disables important system tools or options. It can disable system restore and block safe mode too. In some cases it will block all executable (.exe) files, so you won’t be able to launch any anti-spyware software or malware removal tool.
