How to remove System Defender rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
System Defender (aka SystemDefender) is another attempt of fraudulent cyber vendors aiming to deceive PC users into wasting their money and endangering their computers. System Defender is a successor of the very similar program called Internet Defender which was released just a few days earlier. System Defender spreads its freeware executables through a network of fake online scanner sites and misleading ads which can be randomly encountered on the web. Once System Defender finds itself in your computer, it quickly modifies the registry and drops a number of corrupted files so that the OS gets paralyzed. Consequently, System Defender overwhelms the victim with its adware that comes in the form of fabricated scanners and intense stream of misleading popup ads. The above alerts tell you that your system is in great danger because it’s being attacked by some odd viruses, trojans, keyloggers and spyware. The only reason System Defender tends to report imaginary infections is to excite you about the status of your computer security. Having succeeded in brainwashing you this way, System Defender insists on your purchasing the its full version. So much for System Defender activity. Please avoid System Defender trickery, do not believe its ads and make sure to remove System Defender from your computer.
