Severity scale:

(88 / 100)

Win Defender 2009 is typical rogue anti-spyware. This one has more potential to scam people than the others do because its name is similar to Windows Defender, reputable software from Microsoft Corp. Whenever downloading or purchasing a software make sure that it’s really the legitimate one you get. Do not take WinDefender as Windows Defender and vice versa.

Fortunately, WinDefender2009 isn’t able to infect computers on its own. It is advertised by trojans in hopes that people will download and buy a full version. The advertisements are masked to appear as infection alerts; if user clicks on such a warning, he or she is offered Win Defender 2009 as the only mean to remove threats. Do not fall for these tricks and do not download WinDefender 2009. If installed, it brings even more pop-ups and disturbs regular applications. WinDefender 2009 also promotes other malwares; usually it’s Total Secure 2009.

Win-defender.com is the main source of Win Defender 2009 scam. Block this website using your HOSTS file and avoid purchasing WinDefender 2009 at all costs.
