Posted: January 2, 2013

Multi-Rogue XP Total Security is a sub-classification for rogue anti-spyware members from the FakeRean family that specialize in infecting Windows XP-based PCs. However, according to previous research by SpywareRemove.com malware experts, other versions of Windows also are at risk of FakeRean attacks from variants that are, in turn, specialized for either Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Members of the Multi-Rogue XP Total Security group of scamware create fake malware warnings and scans that are full of inaccurate results, which never detect real infections or problems with your computer. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers especially recommend against buying any individual member of Multi-Rogue XP Total Security and urge you to use a reputable brand of anti-malware product to remove your variant of Multi-Rogue XP Total Security as quickly as it can be done.
