Antivirus PC 2009 is just another malware disguised as an antivirus. In reality, the Antivirus PC 2009 does nothing at all, except of course trick you into purchasing what it claims to be a full version of itself. Just like many fake antivirus programs that are really malware, this program can be introduced into your system through various forms of trojans.
Beware of online scanners, codecs, drivers, mp3s, and other downloadable freebies. There might be a strain of Antivirus PC 2009 lurking alongside any of these innocent-looking files. Make sure the sites you download these files from are legit, because if not, you might end up downloading this very dangerous program.
This program can hijack your system even from the moment you boot up. This is possible because Antivirus PC 2009 is sure to attack your Windows system registry. The moment it takes control, it can launch pop-ups and notifications; even displaying fake security alerts that look pretty much like a legitimate Windows warning.
Its ultimate goal, as mentioned earlier, is to dupe you into buying the full version of Antivirus PC 2009. The notifications will typically inform you that the full version is the only solution for the alleged threats. Of course, we all know everything it tells you is just part of an elaborate scam.
