Updated on May 14, 2013
Win32/FakeDef is a family of rogues that displays fake warnings of "malicious programs and viruses", and tells you that they need to pay money to register the software to remove these non-existent threats.
FakeDef uses a number of different aliases, depending on what operating system you are using; below is a list of the names we have observed in the wild:
- Vista Defender
- Win Defender
- Win Server Defender
