How to remove Orange Defender Antivirus

What is Orange Defender Antivirus

Developers of Orange Defender Antivirus promote their software as a total security tool that detects and eliminates multiple issues. Unfortunately, this piece is untrustworthy because it generates a fake list of scan results. To remove the found malware and problems, users have to activate the full version after the 30-day trial. After that, the program will just clear the list of non-existing issues. This particular rogue antivirus disables any existing security software installed on PC and sets itself to start on Windows startup via scheduled tasks. Orange Defender Antivirus is categorized as a potentially unwanted program, that slows down your PC and extorts money from gullible users. Therefore, you should delete it to free up some space and prevent other privacy threats.

How Orange Defender Antivirus infected your computer

Programs of such type are typically distributed with other software. Simply said, it comes along with freeware as additional offers. As a rule, users rely on rushing through the setup which causes the omission of “Advanced” or “Custom” settings. Because unwanted programs are usually pre-set for automatic installation, users remain unaware of it and get inadvertently infected after finishing the main setup. If you really want to secure your system from different threats, it is better to opt for the trusted and long-existed software. We recommend Norton Antivirus which is a great program, especially for fending off such unwanted programs like Orange Defender Antivirus. If you become a victim of Orange Defender Antivirus, follow the instructions below to delete it.
