Search And Destroy 2009 is more fake antivirus software. If you thought Search And Destroy 2009 was all right, don’t blame yourself — Search And Destroy 2009 is riding off the good name of Spybot’s Search & Destroy, which is legit antivirus/antispyware software. Outside of the name rip-off, Search And Destroy 2009 has nothing in common with Spybot’s work.

You can thank a Trojan or scam website for installing Search And Destroy 2009 onto your PC. Once Search And Destroy 2009 is in, Search And Destroy 2009 tries to trick you into buying the “full” version of Search And Destroy 2009 with fake threat alerts, and by noting harmless files as dangerous.
