What is Antivirus 2009? (Run Antivirus 2009 check with SpyHunter)
Antivirus 2009, also known as Antivirus2009, is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses false spyware results to lure you to purchase its full version. Antivirus2009 is an updated version of Antivirus 2008. Other Antivirus 2009 aliases that have recently appeared on the Web are: XP Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008, Ultimate Antivirus 2008 and System Antivirus 2008.

Antivirus 2009 is usually promoted via a ZLOB/MediaAccess Codec installer found on adult websites. Zlob has been the trojan of choice to infect users with pop ups disguised as system notifications that lead to websites with rogue anti-spyware programs. You can also install Antivirus 2009 manually on the rogue website antivirus-scanner.com. Antivirus 2009 may use its system scanner to display false positives which work as an incentive to make unsuspecting users purchase Antivirus 2009's commercial version.

Once you click on the link provided, you'll be redirected to Antivirus 2009's website (antivirus2009.com) to download and purchase Antivirus 2009's rogue anti-spyware program. Antivirus 2009 has the ability to recreate itself after reboot and its "System scan" messages may continue to pop up on your task manager.
