System Security 2009 is the successor to System Security – a well-known fake anti-virus application that has managed to corrupt a great number of computers all over the world.

System Security 2009 uses the same con-tactics as its predecessor and aims at the same thing – to lure victims into paying for its phony full version. It uses the help of backdoor Trojans in order to enter vulnerable computers unnoticeably. This is done by exploiting compromised websites, which hide the Trojans. A click on the hacked website is enough for the Trojan to sneak into the targeted computer system.

Once inside the system, the Trojan starts producing a series of bogus alerts and notifications. They claim that the computer has been infected with a number of viruses and prompt the user to buy the rogue. In some cases, a malicious wallpaper is even used to replace the existing one. The wallpaper states:

WARNING!
YOU‘RE IN DANGER!
YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH SPYWARE!

The text under the warning announces that there is a great risk for the PC's safety. If clicked on, the wallpaper prompts the user to purchase the rogue.

Then the Trojan brings along System Security 2009 itself. The fake alerts do not seize to appear, and the rogue starts performing made-up scans of the system. It displays a preliminary list of non-existing infections and urges the user to pay for the so-called "licenced" version of System Security 2009. With all those malicious techniques, the rogue is prompted as a genuine AV tool, but it is nothing more than yet another hacker creation that wants to steal your money.

To sum up, System Security 2009 is not a program that can cope with any viruses. All it does is to create a hoax and make you believe your computer is flooded with malware pieces, and then tries to mislead you to pay for its fake services. What you should do in case you spot System Security 2009 operating on your computer is to use a legitimate AV tool and remove the rogue!
