I have tried everything to get rid of the windows pc defender virus on my computer. For some reason, if would’nt let me open spyware doctor. And malwarebytes and super anti-virus wouldnt work. I’ve tried spyware terminator also, but it only gets rid of the trojans and not the virus files. Does anyone have any other ideas? I do not know how to remove it manually. Please Please Please help!
You can check any suspicious process by running X-Ray My PC Scanner:

It will give you a description of all processes as well as their security risk. If the scan results do not have any info about this file, most likely it is a virus.
Figuring out how to remove Windows PC Defender can be complicated. The program infects your registry so it can be hard to get rid of manually. I wouldn’t recommend trying it on your own. The best course of action is to get a Windows PC Defender removal tool. I heard this one can do the trick:

Defenders just plain suck, because one of their chief operations is restraining you from your Nortons or McAfee or what have you. What my brother had to do with his computer was completely wipe the hard drive. This gets rid of the virus, but it also gets rid of your information, programs and other add ons. It’s easy to do, but you’re gunna have to back up what you can’t get back, and pray that it isn’t infected.
Programs out there on the net aren’t going to be of much help to you, seeing as they’re a ‘pay-straight-up’ thing and they usually don’t work. They just strip the virus down.
Best of luck, hope it doesn’t chew you up too bad.
