Hi, the program "windefender2008" is most likely a fake antivirus program which usually is downloaded and installed by the Trojans or under other dubious circumstances. I suggest you try a free online virus scan on the following site first:

Meanwhile, if you need more help with virus-related issues, please contact Microsoft Product Support Services. For support within the United States and Canada, call toll-free (866) PCSAFETY (727-2338).
