Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

XP SecurityCenter, also known as XPSecurityCenter and XP Security Center, is a rogue anti-spyware program that hides itself under a Window's legitimate software. XP Security Center installs on your computer with the help of a Trojan called Zlob. Once you're infected, Zlob will issue an exaggerated amount of popups and fake security warning messages to "inform" you about supposed spyware infections. XP Security Center has a fake system scanner that may be used to emulate a system scan and display a list of scan results with bogus threats found on your system. XP Security Center uses these measures only to trick you into purchasing a rogue anti-spyware program for $44.95.
Do not click on any link provided by XP SecurityCenter because it may redirect you to XP Security Center's website (XPSecurityCenter.com) to further download the full XP SecurityCenter program to remove the supposed threats. XP SecurityCenter infects your computer without your knowledge and may recreate itself. XP Security Center is related to IE Defender.

These look like good instructions, however, I no longer have search capabilities nor can I access a DOS window. I downloaded and ran Spyhunter antivirous and the Mechanic. It look like it deleated a lot of things, but the problem is still there. I believe the problem is the XPSecurityCenter or more. What can I do next?
I had this problem with my PC. However, the way I got rid of it was to find the name of the file through task manager in my case ouv.exe. Stopped it temporally using task manager. Located the file deleted it. But as it associated it's self with all the ms office programs, they would not run. So picked a restore point which I knew the pc was not infected and rebooted, problem solved. I run Vista.
