Like most rogue security applications, WinXDefender will often try to secretly infect computers through a Trojan horse, though manual download is possible. But no matter how this rogue infects a computer, it will always hinder the computer’s performance and then blame other infections for its actions. It will deliver false security alerts and run phony system scans with false results. It will then tell the user of the infected computer that they must purchase the full version of WinXDefender in order to have the infections removed.

Though this program may appear to be from Windows, it isn’t. It is merely a scam that has tried to play off of the Windows Defender name for profit. If this rogue has infected your computer then you need to have it removed immediately. If you don’t remove it, your computer could become infected with other malware.
