Remove Antivirus 2009
Every now and then new rogue antispyware programs are created, like the famous Antivirus 2008, System Antivirus 2008, Ultimate Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008, XP Antivirus 2008 etc.Antivirus 2009 is a clone and successor of all those viruses I mention above. It is basically a rogue anti-virus program that claims to be a real antivirus and also looks like a real one. Antivirus 2009 is usually embedded inside trojan viruses such as Zlob and Vundo which are found mostly in freeware video codecs. Antivirus 2009 is also carried inside freeware programs or freeware movies that many people download from the Internet. Visiting also non trusted websites (such as adult porn forums, warez download sites, peer to peer sites etc) is another major reason for getting infected with Antivirus 2009.
This rogue antivirus program is categorized as “scareware” because it scares the user by poping up system messages which are fake and which claim that your computer is supposedly infected with several viruses and trojan scripts. Another fake activiry of Antivirus 2009 is to supposedly perform an antivirus scan and generate a false report. The report claims that Antivirus 2009 found numerous “threats” on the system and prompts the user to purchase the full version of the program in order to clean the infections. If you purchase the program, you just throw away your money because Antivirus 2009 is a virus by itself.
Some of the effects of getting infected with Antivirus 2009 is that you will get frequent pop-up messages which will be threat warnings and also your computer will be slow. The messages that you get look like legitimate windows messages but they are not. Their intention is to scare the user to purchase the rogue antivirus.Another effect of the Antivirus 2009 infection is to hijack your internet browser and redirect the pages you visit to other websites which try to promote Antivirus 2009 in order to convince the user to purchase it.
You can remove Antivirus 2009 either manually or automatically. Automatic removal is recommended since you will not have to touch any registry entries or other system resources and files. Manual removal necessitates that the user is expert with computers and has good knowledge with windows operating system. Deleting registry keys or system32 files can cause serious harm to your computer so you better know what you are doing.

As a conclusion, downloading pirated cracked software, freeware programs, or visiting shady websites will most probably put you in big trouble regarding your computer’s security. Cybercrime has been developed into a multimillion industry and the scammers involved in this are always pursuing to find new and innovative ways to steal money from innocent people. My recommendation is to have the proper weapons to defend your computer and your money. I would suggest to have both a trusted antivirus plus a trusted antispyware tool (as the one I suggest on the links above) if you want to successfully stand against cybercrime attacks like all those rogue programs that infect our systems.
