How to Remove APCDefender | How to Remove SysProtector | How to Remove InSysSecure | How to Remove SysDefenders
It looks like we’ve been awash in variants of the wini family lately so I’m combining three of the latest rogue antivirus applications in that family into one post. This post will talk about removing APCDefender, removing Sysprotector and Removing InSysSecure and removing SysDefenders. Some of the same steps would be taken for each anyway. The main thing that they have unique are the names of the rogues and the filenames that they make use of once they install on your system. They all of course are from the wini family of rogue antivirus software and are typically promoted through trojan or other malware activity. Once installed on your system each of this rogues will run scans of your machine and claim that you have security issues on your pc and that there are even viruses on your computer. These viruses are usually either files that the rogue itself creates, or files that are already normally on your computer. Read on for how to remove APCDefender, how to remove Sysprotector and how to remove InSysSecure and how to remove sysdefenders.
