WinDefender 2008 is a rogue application. Rogues are also sometimes known as scareware.
Looks sort of familiar, doesn't it? Do you recognize the shape of the box?

Hey — Really Legal Stuff — That's impressive. From where else we can find really legal stuff?
Oh, Antivirus XP 2008. That particular rogue is a huge pain in the… neck.
The guys that produce this stuff are crooks and swindlers.
Here's a tip: If they claim to be REALiable — they're probably FAKE.
P.S. Performing a search for "really legal stuff" produces some very interesting but definitely NOT safe for work results.
Avoid following the links.
