GreatDefender is a rogue antivirus application from the winisoft family. It is installed onto a system through the use of trojans and other malware which should give you an indication that it is not something that you want on your system. (It’s usually a bad sign when you don’t know where a piece of software came from.) Once on your system it will run at boot and complain about security problems that it has found on your computer. It will further scan for viruses and consistently find viruses (even if it’s installed on a fresh windows installed it is guaranteed to find something to complain about.) Don’t fall for this scam and pay them for this software. They claim the problems found can only be fixed by paying for this software, don’t buy it. Instead, read on for how to remove greatdefender.

How to Remove SystemVeteran | Removal Guide
SystemVeteran is (yet another) variation from the wini family of rogue antivirus applications. Their last one prior to this was BlockProtector (BlockProtector Removal Guide) but it is a VERY long lived family and they are churning out one variation every two to three days. Most of these have the same look and feel and only differ in the name as well as the file names. They are all a pain in the neck for those that are stuck with them as they all popup warnings about threats detected on your computer that only they can solve if only you would purchase their software. Of course, then they really don’t do much because there weren’t these threats to begin with. Read on to find out how to remove SystemVeteran:
