your precise directions allowed me to remove this turd from a friends laptop. I was fully expecting to have to “nuke” the OS and start from scratch, but Malwarebytes did the trick and their “haunted” laptop was exorcised of this demon!

Patrik,
My wifes computer was “screwed” your directions were precise, Malwarebytes did the job, didn’t know about the safe boot stuff. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Absolutely nothing has gone per the instructions above for removing PC Defender. Is this a scam to make it worse? I guess you wouldn’t tell me if it was.

Start your PC in regular mode, immediatley open the task manager go to processes sort alphabetical scroll down to the T’s as soon as you see total PC Defender end task and then you can do what ever you want to remove..

After 1 1/2 hours of ‘Full’ scan, eight (8) more infection objects were found – one was a registry key.

After the quick scan and reboot, I performed a full scan. I saw two more infections and assume there are more coming. I’m going to bed. Thank you for the help!

I was lucky that Spybot stopped this Total PC Defender before it was going to disable Task Manager and others. Spybot asked me if I want to allow or deny, I said deny this. I managed to reboot into safe mode and remove TPD off and delete folder then restart and removed TPD icons off Menu Start, Desktop, Quick Launch, Internet Temporary Files, and Tasks. I checked hkeys to make sure but Task Manager never being disabled anyway. Thanks Spybot. Now I am running McAfee to make sure everything. Yes, I notice notepad.exe which closed my note that I worked but I saved note before TPD causes.
