Am I missing something? Why are these sites classifying Malware Defender as antispyware rogue? Is the difference with the good software "2009" instead of 2.x?

Malware Defender 2009 and Malware Defender from torchsoft.com are not the same.

wonder malwarebytes deleted my malware defender shortcut icon:argh:

They are 2 totally different apps...

Malware Defender 200X is a rogue anti-spyware application.

Malware Defender 2.3.2 is a legit and very good HIPS application.

Xaiolin should change the name of his MD to "Torchsoft Antimalware" or something like that.

"Malware Defender" is just too generic -- unless Xaiolin wants to trademark the name & spend the next several years suing scumbags like the proponents of Malware Defender 2009.

Malware Defender great classical HIPS program. A rogue came along some time after with the same name just added 2009 after. HpHosts had TorchSoft site as a bad one. They have now corrected it.

How about Torchsoft HIPS. ;D
No really MalwareDefender is just fine the way it is, if Xiaolin changed the name then some new rogue would just pick a name close to it.

Exactly, when the bad boys smell some success, duplicating a known name is their best option to ""success"", If Xiaolin would name it TorchSoft xxxx, they will need to look somewhere else.

Then they'll name it "TorchSoft xxxx 2010"!
