ProtectDefender is a rogue Antispyware, a scareware, it's a malware that pretends to be an Antivirus. It is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It conducts a fake scan of your system; you are warned by a fake alarm that there are more malwares on your system. It’s true indeed, there is really a malware in your system but I think the only malware on your system is ProtectDefender. It invites you to purchase a license to remove malware, do not, it's a scam, you need a license for a malware? This so-called Antivirus tries to scam you. Uninstall ProtectDefender immediately from your system.
