Antivirus 2009 isn't the security
program it appears to be. So if you find it on your system,
you should get some good security software, and get rid of it
ASAP! (Manual removals don't usually take care of it, plus it
has the nasty habit of regenerating!)
What kinds of things will
Antivirus 2009 do? It will often install without your
consent, which is the first bad sign. It can also:
Hijack and redirect your
browser.
Install other types of spyware or
adware.
Throw annoying popups up, while
you surf the internet.
Compromise your security as well
as your privacy.
Regenerate, once you think you
have it removed.
So if Antivirus 2009 ever shows
up on your computer, make sure you take care of it with some good,
real
anti-spyware software.
