XP Security

Posted: March 22, 2010

XP Security is a dangerous application created by hackers. XP Security can be compared to other similar rogue anti-spyware programs such as XP Security Tool or XP Smart Security 2010. These applications are designed to trick computer users into purchase of a full version through deceptive popup messages and fake system scan results. Not only does XP Security not have the ability to remove parasites, it cannot detect any type of legitimate parasite. XP Security should be removed with a good spyware tool to help reduce the risk of damages.

    Thanks for the info here, but, I followed your scheme and couldn't find anything with xp security in it. Someone gave me a cd with a tool that was supposed to sniff it out ut the computer says the cd is corrupted. It was brand new. I hate to think the bad guys will win this one. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Thad Rush

    My computer was recently infected with the XP Security virus - I ran a scan with "Avast!" and it removed 3 items, so I restarted my computer and XP Security seems to have disappeared, but so did the proper functionality of my computer... I can't even bring up my registry editor, nor Avast, and many other applications; I only end up with an error message stating that the application can't be found. Can anyone help me out with this? I really can't afford to take my computer in anywhere, and desperately need it for online courses I'm enrolled in for college.
