SafeGuard 2009

Safe Guard 2009 or Safeguard 2009, is a rogue anti-spyware application, similar to MS AntiSpyware 2009. Safe Guard 2009 may be installed by a Trojan or through a fraudulent website. Safe Guard 2009 uses fake system scans and results, as well as an exaggerated amount of popup infection notifications to push the user into buying the full Safe Guard 2009 program to remove the supposed threats. Safe Guard 2009 may seem a trustworthy program, however, it's just a scam to download and install additional adware and spyware and steal the user's money.

Spyware is the fastest growing threat on the Internet. Certain variety of spyware is becoming as dangerous as viruses and trojans, while some don't cause any major harm to the system - but still report your internet surfing habits to a remote webmaster. That's not all, but they affect the system performance as well. Here are the spyware removal and protection tools which you must have, at the very least. Before proceeding to Spyware removal, I would advice you create a System Restore point in XP (in case), considering the fact that 'sometimes' spyware removal affects the normal operation of Windows.
