What is Search and Destroy 2009?
Search and Destroy 2009 is a rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which relies on trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. The name of the program was intended to confuse the user by imitating the popular freeware anti-spyware Spybot S&D. This parasite uses disinformation to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.
Upon entering the system, Search and Destroy 2009 will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may coincidentally be correct, Search and Destroy 2009 has neither the ability to detect nor remove threats, and should therefore be disregarded.
The home of this parasite (search-and-destroy.com) is much like any other rogue website: there is no relevant information and no contact details. You should block this website using your HOSTS file for maximum protection.
Search and Destroy 2009 is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and remove it immediatelly upon detection.
