Beware of scare-ware! Perhaps the biggest and widest spreading virus infection is Windows XP Antivirus or Antivirus XP 2008. Do not allow this program to infest your computer, remove XP Antivirus immediately! If you are not sure your CPU has been infected, then check if your system has exhibited at least one of the following symptoms.
• Computer constantly bombarded with “warning spyware has been detected” pop up ads and taskbar notifications begging you to download the XP Antivirus software
• Your desktop background settings have been changed and display more fake warnings without letting you change them back.
• Joke blue screens such as the “blue screen of death” appear and simulate your computer rebooting while claiming fatal errors have occurred
• Your browser gets hijacked and redirected to different sites and pop up screens. You begin trying to click out but start panicking when you realize the problem just gets worse.
If any of these symptoms look familiar there is an EXCELLENT chance your computer has been infected with the vaunted Windows XP Anti Virus. Do not let the legitimate sounding name fool you, XP Antivirus is not funded by Microsoft or any other real spware and virus removal companies. It is a deadly form of malware and should be avoided at all costs. There are a litany of dangers attached to this software such as:
1. The robbery of all your private information such as credit card, social security, and bank account numbers. All of your passwords are at risk.
2. A clever scheme can cost you hundreds of dollars if you are not careful.
3. The potential crashing and corruption of your computer hard drive. XP Antivirus attaches itself to your registry and begins altering it. This is a very sensitive area and if not controlled Antivirus XP will corrupt it.
In order to remove XP Antivirus you need to eliminate the malware completely. This includes all registry and DLL related files as well as task manager processes and Windows program files. Unfortunately to the computer novice this can be a very difficult task!
And even more regrettable is the fact that most antivirus and spyware removers cannot detect XP Antivirus such as Adaware and Spybot. You need a program that can perform a deep registry scan and look into associated DLL files.
Luckily I have found such a program. With a free full scan of your hard drive you can detect and remove XP Antivirus in just minutes. Come have a look and clean up your computer today!
