 (69 / 100)
Once installed and active, WinPCDefender performs fake system scan and basically generates misleading pop-up windows and fake error messages attempting to scare the user and hopping that he will purchase a licence of Win PC Defender. However, WinPC Defender is totally worthless application and should be removed immediately after first appearance. It is obvious that this rogue is unable to detect and of course to remove any kind of infections. We strongly recommend to remove WinPC Defender from the system as soon as possible after detection. Removal delay can only worsen the situation.

what can i do to remove "winpc" from my compuiter??
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
internet. so to protect computer from virus "pc defender" should be deleted from the computer.
1.i ran my pc in safe mode
2.i downloaded malwarebytes
3.i installed by grading it into command prompt because it would not let me run setups or exes
4.ran full scan
5.virus done.
6.confirm check
i hope this works for this guys
1) rename your anti virus software defender.exe
- in my case i use malwarebytes as i find its the best so i renamed mbam.exe to defender.exe (it doesnt close any programs named defender.exe)
2) run a full scan
3) remove the threats/infections it finds
4) restart computer
I would assume this would work with any anti virus software, just find yours in your program files and rename the executable to defender.exe
Hope this helps!

As I didnt have malwarebytes installed on the infected computer I downloaded it on another machine and installed it off a thumb drive.

1.1) Rebooted in safe mode with network capability
1.2) Did a Definitions update (important bit)
2) run a full scan
3) remove the threats/infections it finds
4) restart computer
Great advice - many thanks
EASY FIX -> For Windows 7 (for XP see below)...power up and go straight into safe mode where the file cant open. delete the file "defender.exe" in Computer/C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/defender.exe.
If you cant find it, download EMSA Win Startup Manager from another computer and make sure you get their activation code from their web site. Start your computer in safe mode, install and start EMSA Startup Manager...look in all the tabs on the left and you should eventually see the EXACT NAME AND LOCATION of the file which will be listed, among other files, in the right (main) window. Then, just open up explorer and delete it!
The people who make these things are the lowest of the low!!!!
