Severity scale:
Like most rogue security applications, Proof Defender 2009 can be promoted through the use of Trojan horses. The Trojans will download and install the rogue onto the computer it has infected without the user’s knowledge or consent. However, Proof Defender 2009 has been manually installed more than anything else.
There are several websites out there that are promoting this rogue. All of the information on these sites is fraudulent, including the praises that are supposed to be from actual software rating sites. These sites are also very insecure. Once a person has downloaded the rogue, it will act as though it is scanning their system. Then, it will show a list of fake results and suggest that the user pay to register the program so the threats can be removed. However, the program does nothing but lie and is completely powerless against any real threats that may exist on the computer. Instead of helping, Proof Defender 2009 will actually hinder the infected computer’s performance.
