I would run malaware bytes anti malaware and download the actual windows defender from the windows website not some link from a popup.  A good combination for cleaning even the most infected computers would be spybpt, Superantispyware, malawarebytes and adaware.  I have found restarting in safemode also helps when scanning.

I don't know if it's the same issue, today I had to deal with pcdefender2009.
Wasn't so difficult, stopped process, found file, delete it.
The file was on the application data folder in the user's folder (XP)
It didn't make big changes on the system.
Again i don't know if it's the same as windefender.
Just my 2 cents.
