Hello, this Antivirus 2009 thing sounds to me like one of those extortionist trojans claiming to have found dozens of infections on your machine and then charging you for a cure that consists of simply removing the trojan. Unfortunately this kind of badware is often buggy in addition to being evil. Reminds me of the days when Real Player came bundled with a spyware component called Aureate and people started reporting browser crashes because that thing was full of bugs. Nice to know that Spyware Doctor gets rid of it. On a positive though slightly off-topic note, today I experienced the amazing stability of Window-Eyes; on an XP machine with a damaged registry due to hard disk errors, where launching Windows Explorer took about three minutes, Window-Eyes persisted through it all and never stopped speaking!
