When downloaded and installed, IronDefender starts posing to be completely legitimate software which works effectively and detects viruses that haven’t been detected by any other anti-spyware yet. Malware shows continuous pop-up ads, alerts and notifications and also continues that fake system scan. Of course, there will be a great list of viruses reported after this Iron Defender’s scan and for the elimination now users will be asked to purchase it.
