WinDefender2008 Description

Spyware Image
WinDefender2008 is a rogue anti-spyware program that may seem like a regular online scanner, when all it does is hijack your browser and redirect you to malicious websites. WinDefender 2008 will also display misleading error messages alleging to detect virus threats to lure you to purchase its full version. WinDefender2008's error messages may read:
"WARNING!!!

Current threats detect by WinDefender 2008 today.
This information is provided based on current threat level and internet user's database. WinDefender is trying to detected and remove all items."

"Computer scan results: 284 items detected
NOTE: Detected objects marked in red are CRITICAL and should be removed from the computer!"

If you click on the fake error messages, you'll be redirected to win-defender.com or to another rogue website where you'll be encouraged to purchase WinDefender2008. WinDefender 2008 sells itself as a software to "DEFEND YOUR COMPUTER!", but truth is, WinDefender2008 is no computer defender. WinDefender2008 may launch on every Windows startup and may be difficult to remove manually.
