If you have Perfect Defender 2009 running on your computer then beware. It is a rogue (or fake) antispyware program that performs a computer scan and reports that your computer is infected. In most cases these security alerts and reports of infections are false. This program will tell you to buy Perfect Defender 2009 to remove the detected infections.

How did Perfect Defender get in my PC?

You may have opened an infected email attachment or downloaded and opened an infected file using p2p networks like limewire or torrent.
This file contains the trojan. The trojan downloads and installs Perfect Defender 2009 on your computer automatically.

During installation, Perfect Defender 2009 will configure the Windows registry to run automatically every time when you start an application (files with “exe” extension). The rogue also uses this method of running to block the ability to run any programs, including your legitimate virus and spyware application.
