Yandex Defender is a reliable tool

Recently, more and more popular are such specialized programs as Yandex-defender. Their main purpose is to block spontaneous change of browser settings. When you try to make changes to the Internet browser settings, the user receives a message according to which he can either accept them or reject them.

This need arose in connection with the widespread spread of viruses. For example, there is a Webalta search engine that attacks a PC with a special malware. The algorithm of its work is as follows. When you hit this page, a special program is integrated into the browser. It without the user's knowledge sets the default by default to another search engine, if there is no Yandex defender on the PC. The next time you start, the start page will be different, and many features that are in the regular system will be blocked. Yes, and advertising on this service is suitable only for adults. In general, we get only trouble.

Yandex-defender is designed specifically to combat such unauthorized access. It can not be installed separately. It is exclusively bundled with a package of programs, like Yandex-Bar. Download and install this software package on the official page of this search service. In some cases, it can be embedded in some applications developed by the company (for example, a toy made by Yandex and supplemented by Yandex-Bar). As a result, the program is installed in the same directory as all other components, such as Launchpad or Browser Panel. The configuration of the defender is not provided.

The principle of his work is the following. When the operating system is launched in the background, a separate application is launched that monitors the browser settings and monitors their changes. When you try to make changes to the settings of the viewer, Yandex-defender is triggered. The virus is blocked until the user gives permission to unlock by pressing the corresponding button in the appeared window. At the same time, the program is not only bound to one search engine, but also can work perfectly with others, for example, Yahoo or Google.

If it becomes clear during the work that such an application is not needed, it must be uninstalled. Again, you can not delete the Yandex defender separately. Therefore, you will have to delete the entire Yandex-Bar package. To do this, go to the Control Panel, find there a shortcut "Programs and components" and double click the left mouse button to open it. In the list that opens, you need to find "Yandex.Bar", highlight it and click the "Uninstall" button. And follow this procedure, following the instructions of the system. At the final stage, it is recommended to completely delete the directory at drive C, the Program Files directory, the Yandexbar subdirectory.

The attitude of most users to such a program is not unambiguous. On the one hand, in the background an additional process is running, which increases the load on the PC. But on the other hand, the same thread provides additional security for the computer. What is more important - the user should solve, and already proceeding from the accepted decision, to establish or not Yandex-defender.
