How to remove Windows Active Defender

Windows Active Defender is a computer infection from the Rogue.FakeVimes family rogue anti-spyware programs. It is considered a rogue because it displays fake security alerts, false scan results, and makes it so that you are unable to run your normal programs. This family of infections are spread through hacked web sites that exploit vulnerabilities on your computer so that the program can be installed without your knowledge or permission. This family is also spread via advertisements that pretend to be an online anti-malware scanner that states that you are infected and then prompts you to download and install the program.
