WinDefender 2009 is one of the recent rogue security software. A variant of the rogue IE Defender and Total Secure it deceptively looks similar to Windows Defender, a legitimate Microsoft anti-malware program.
A rogue security software belongs to a family of software products that call themselves as antivirus, antispyware or registry cleaners and often use deceptive or high pressure sales tactics and deliberate false positives to convince users into buying a license/subscription. They are often repackaged and renamed. They do not actually remove malware instead many of them add more malware of their own.
