'''Spyware Protect 2009''' is a rogue antivirus software. It begins with a pop up warning the user that they're computer is infected with a virus. It will attempt to download several programs on the user's system, and has the ultimate goal of tricking people into purchasing a fake antivirus program for nearly $50, while also obtaining critical information such as credit card numbers. Recent reports suggest it is associated with the [[Conficker]] virus.<ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10217386-83.html]</ref>
