SaveDefense is a malicious program made by following a number of false security applications which include SaveSoldier, SaveKeep, WiniShield, WiniFighter and WinBlueSoft. All these fake system tools pretend to be legitimate programs, although they have the only goal of infecting your computer with parasites. Like all its predecessors, Save Defense serves the same purpose.

SaveDefense is installed on the computer with the help of trojans and performs false security scans along with issuing fake security warnings once it starts working. The aim of Save Defense is to promote the 'full version' of the program which must be purchased by the user in order to remove the non-existing security threats. Although SaveDefense promises to perform the actions of an actual security program, unfortunately, it is not able to do so simply because it is a fake application. It is strongly advised to avoid purchasing or installing SaveDefense and to remove it from the system at the moment of detection.
