How to remove BlockDefense rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
BlockDefense (also known as Block Defense or BlockDefence) is a new rogue security product from the malware family which includes SaveDefense, TrustNinja, SaveSoldier, SaveKeep, to name merely a few such rogues. BlockDefense makes it through one’s security barriers without any particular obstacles because it tends to skillfully use Trojan viruses to located weak spots of the host system to be compromised. Once BlockDefense gets inside this way, it immediately changes the OS of the challenged computer so that the malware distribution plan gets easily put into practice. For instance, having created some registry values and files of its own, BlockDefense will keep triggering extremely annoying false positives and bogus security scanners that “in chorus” tell the unsuspecting victim about the multiple alleged infections resident on the PC and needing to be remedied in the shortest possible terms. If that kind of brainwashing gets through, the user will probably want to learn more and eventually get misled into installing BlockDefense full version. But the trick about BlockDefense is it wants your money in return for its “services”, i.e. you will be required to purchase the license for this rogue program before it can fulfill everything it promises. To cut the long story short, BlockDefense definitely does NOT belong on your PC, so you should remove the nasty pest ASAP (please, follow BlockDefense removal tips below to secure your computer).
