Severity scale:

(74 / 100)

Advanced XP Defender is a rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of WinIFixer. It is, essentially, a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics (such as pop-ups and fake system notifications) to convince the user that his computer is infected, in hopes that he will purchase Advanced XP Defender to dispose of the problem.

This parasite usually infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob and Vundo. AdvancedXPDefender is a "product" of Pandora Software - a "software company" of highly dubious nature, which is also behind such scams as SpyAway and the recent InfeStop. Advanced XP Defender is a clone of the said two rogues. Do not trust Advanced XPDefender!

Advanced XP Defender is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block their homepage using your HOSTS file.
