XpCleanerPro

Posted: February 21, 2008

XpCleanerPro is a corrupt anti-spyware application, and is a clone of the notorious XPAntiVirus. XpCleanerPro may be brought to your system with the help of various Trojans, or can be downloaded directly from developer’s website (www.xpcleanerpro.com). Once installed on your system, XpCleanerPro will carry through a fake scan that will result in deceitful error messages that are generated to scare credible computer users into purchasing the non-existent full version of the program that is promised to purge your machine out of parasites it “detected”. XpCleanerPro is a scam and, therefore, should be removed from your computer as soon as possible.
