    At the time Spyware Protect 2009 is running you will also see a variety of security alerts on your computer. These alerts consist of ones stating that a remote host is attacking your computer, that you have a variety of infections.Its fake error messages can be in the system bar, browser, popup.The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall Spyware Protect 2009 by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden Spyware Protect 2009 files, it's possible that Spyware Protect 2009 will reappear after reboot.
