Malware Description:
SecurityFighter (aka Security Fighter) sounds like it would probably make a good antivirus program if it weren’t for the apparent fact that this utility is rogue. In fact, SecurityFighter hails back to the group of noisome malware applications consisting of SaveArmor, SaveDefender, SoftSafeness, SafetyKeeper, QuickHealCleaner, BlockDefense and SystemCop – and these are only the recent ones, there are much more to complete this black malware list. SecurityFighter drops its executable onto a host computer without one’s consent and knowledge. Consequently, SecurityFighter malware appears on a computer without the user’s knowing it and with no user action. Immediately after it gets installed, Security Fighter configures the host system to run its executable file at startup so that it can display its numerous popup ads and scanners that report malware detection.

If you do happen to accidentally push or get tricked into pushing one of those ads, it will automatically trigger installation of SecurityFighter full version which messes up any infected system.
