Malware Defender 2009 is a rogue anti-spyware application. It is very similar to System Guard 2009 and Spyware Guard 2009, so we can assume that these applications were created by the same group of scammers. MalwareDefender 2009 is usually promoted along with trojan viruses, such as Vundo or similar. These trojans display fake security alerts and pop-up windows about various security threats and suggest to download Malware Defender 2009 in order to remove those infections or protect the system from further possible infections.

Once installed and active, MalwareDefender2009 is configured to load automatically when user starts his computer. The rogue performs fake system scan and displays various malware infections that can't be removed until user purchases the full version of Malware Defender 2009. However, all those infections are actually fake. They were made up in order to frighten the user, hopping that he will buy worthless spyware remover. Along with Malware Defender 2009 comes another infection called C:\Windows\System32\wcenter.exe. This trojan may also displays a fake Windows Security Center window with various security problems. It is already obvious that Malware Defender 2009 should be removed as soon as possible after detection. Otherwise it can cause more damage and even decrease system performance.

Downloading Malware Defender 2009 turned out to be the single biggest mistake I have ever committed on my computer. I go back to the "punch cards" days so I had a computer a very long time. Never download this software.

also dont download antivirus 2009 or 2008 and if you do download Malwarebytes' Antimalware and run a full scan to remove it. Just search Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware on google and download it there
