Terminator 2009

Terminator 2009, also known as Terminator2009, is a rogue anti-spyware program that tends to make use of false spyware results to lure you, the unsuspecting system user, into purchasing its full version. Terminator 2009 is usually promoted via a Trojan Vundo installer, found on adult websites. Vundo has been the Trojan of choice used by many a hacker, to infect users with pop up messages, disguised as system notifications – all of which are tactics aimed at leading users to the websites affiliated with rogue anti-spyware programs. It is also possible to install Terminator 2009 manually, by visiting the rogue website.

Terminator 2009 may use its system scanner to display false positives, which work as an incentive to coerce unsuspecting users into making a purchase of Terminator 2009's commercial version. Do not click on any link provided by Terminator 2009. Once a user clicks on the link provided, they'll be redirected to Terminator 2009's website, to download and purchase Terminator 2009's rogue anti-spyware program.
