Remove AdvancedXPFixer. Description and removal instructions

Title: AdvancedXPFixer
Type: Malware	Severity scale: (64 / 100)

AdvancedXPFixer is a corrupt anti-spyware tool that uses misleading advertising and scare tactics (such as pop-ups and fake system notifications) to convince the user that he/she is infected. Then, the parasite tries to push its counterfeit software to the user in order to gain purchase.

AdvancedXPFixer usually infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob and Vundo. It is a "product" of Pandora Software - a "software company" of highly dubious nature, which is also behind such scams as SpyAway and the recent Advanced XP Defender, a clone of which AdvancedXPFixer is.

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