ScreenshotPC Security 2009 is a fake security program that comes from the same group of attackers that develop and advertise WinReanimator and Home Antivirus 2009, which are both rogue anti-spyware programs. PC Security 2009 may be advertised and installed through the Trojan horse Trojan-Downloader.Braviax. Various misleading popup alerts or bogus system notifications are known to come from this Trojan infection. Usually the messages are used as an attempt to entice purchase of the full PC Security 2009 application.

Once PC Security 2009 is installed onto your system it is usually followed up with a system scan that returns several misleading results. The system scan may initiate each time you startup Windows which can make PC Security 2009 very difficult to manually detect and remove. One of the fake alerts display by PC Security 2009 reads:

"WARNING! PC Security 2009 has found 35 useless and unwanted files on your computer!
19 of those those items are considered as critical privacy compromising content
8 of those those items are considered as medium privacy threats
8 of those those items are considered to be junk content of low privacy threats
Personal data at the reach of anyone's hand
Internet history records available
Compromising and adult material stored on your system
Chat session's logs and personal Emails easily reachable"

PC Security 2009 is unable to provide a solution to any computer infection or unwanted files on your computer. It is recommended that you remove PC Security 2009 before it is able to cause serious damage to your system.
