Advanced Defender Descriptions:
Advanced Defender is a rogue anti-virus application from the same family as Personal Protector. The fake software is used to steal your money rather than aid you in fixing your PC.
Be sure you never install Advanced Defender on your computer. Once installed, it starts scanning your machine and detecting a bunch of infections which are only files created by the Trojans in advance. In addition, it keeps throwing warnings on the screen that your PC is in a real trouble.
Never have anything in common with Advanced Defender. Click for the full list of removal instructions.

Hello scott,
You can download a spyware removal program and use it during its trial period. For example you can download http://www.xp-vista.com/download/Spyhunter-Detection-Utility.exe and use it to disinfect the threat.
