Spyware WinDefender

[buckoneton]

Hi, Ive got a vicious Spyware on my PC called WinDefender, which keeps telling me to purchase something from them to remove it, Im running AVG, and Winpatrol. Can some one recommend a good programe to remove and prevent me from getting infected again !
Thanks

Download this to your Desktop.
http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTool s/SDFix.exe
Double-click SDFix.exe and it will install a folder on the drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix

Now reboot into Safe Mode, and navigate to that folder.
Open it and and double click RunThis.bat to start the script

Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.

Follow up by running this

That fake WinDefender is a major jerk. I had to spend my money to remove it at the geek squad who I found out later they just did a google search finding a removal report like http://www.enigmasoft...defender2008-removal/ and just removed it using the instructions. I would try an antimalware program instead of AVG which is an antivirus... antivirus wont remove this windefender junk.
