I think I installed something called Spyware Protect 2009 by mistake, and it looks like spyware pretending to be anti-spyware! :( What's the best way to remove it?

Well, based on what I've read, Spyware Protect 2009 is more of a rogue program. It pretends to find malware on your computer, hoping to scare you into buying something. Article: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ma [...] otect-2009

Anyways, you can download this program: http://download.bleepingcomputer.c [...] -setup.exe

...then install it, and run a scan on your computer. It will find SP 2009 and remove it for you.
