Microsoft Developing Windows Defender To Delete Misleading Programs
Misleading cleaning software are a big headache for Windows users. Many of these programs offer a tall promise of increasing computer speed, efficiency, and optimizing memory but end up doing more harm to your computer. Apart from the aggressive sales pitch, many of these tune-up software can miraculously pull up dozens of errors and then entice you to get an unnecessary but paid upgrade version of the program.
As a result of this problem, Microsoft now boosts the ability of its anti-malware program, Windows Defender, to detect and neutralize malicious and deceptive tune-up software.
Microsoft have been recently alarmed by a surge of predatory tactics that many of these programs apply. As reported by Geek, the software giant are particularly uneasy about how these applications pry for users' personal information using a number of methods such as pop-ads that often deceptively appear legit to unsuspecting eyes. Also, several of these cleanup software exaggerate findings in their scan and force users to make a fear-based purchasing decision.
According to a report by Market Exclusive, the anti-malware program will immediately flag any suspicious software that threatens to undermine the computer's optimal functionality. Furthermore, it will delete traces of the malware that continue to thrive even after uninstalling them from the system. Like all other anti-virus programs, it offers the user recommended options to choose from after the threats have been thoroughly identified.
So, if you encounter programs that intend to sort out your system files without an adequate backup claims and explanation, Defender will surely come to the rescue with a devastating counter-blow as stated in a blog article posted in Digital Trends.
