How to remove Security Defender rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Security Defender is software that parasitizes on one’s computer until it either gets removed by a conscious user or purchased by a gullible one. Security Defender is actually a follower of the notoriously known Antimalware Defender that was in the wild about a year ago. This updated and improved (in the bad sense of the notion) version has even more trickery and stealth ‘hard coded’ into its structure. One of the bad things about Security Defender is you might fail to known it’s on your computer until it has already done too much preliminary corrupt job. at the first stage of its stay on your machine, Security Defender considerably changes your system, creating new Registry keys and unwanted files of its own. This being done, the malware will be able to launch itself after every system start/restart, thus impairing its impact whenever you use your PC. What you will be seeing on the output is a bunch of popup warnings and fake scanner ads being triggered at certain time intervals, or when you try to run some executables like legitimate AV software etc. This way, Security Defender tries to prevent you from uninstalling it. What does this illicit program want? We can answer this question confidently and without a slightest tinge of doubt – Security Defender wants your money. You see, every alert and scan report generated by this scamware is fabricated as it contains information about imaginary security threats. Security Defender therefore deliberately misleads you into thinking you have problems so that you go ahead and follow its plan. Once you click a random false positive, you will be directed to a payment screen that offers you fill out some financial details and proceed with registering your copy of Security Defender. Do not do that! This application will do you no good and even make things worse gradually. Consequently, we highly recommend you get rid of Security Defender immediately. Below is a guide to help you with that.
