Title: Antispyware 2008 XP	Also known as: Antispyware2008XP, Antispyware2008 XP, AntispywareXP2008, AntispywareXP 2008
Type: Malware	Severity scale: (80 / 100)

Antispyware 2008 XP is a new rogue anti-spyware program - a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. Unlike many of it's clones, Antispyware2008 XP is targetted at the Italian-speaking part of the world, thus once again proving that the rogue business is widespread. This malware may sometimes present itself as AntispywareXP2008 or Antispyware XP 2008. Although the name is a bit different, both AntispywareXP 2008 and Antispyware 2008 XP are exactly the same.

Antispyware 2008 XP floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to "inform" him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. This is done to create a reason for the user to purchase it's "licensed version".

Antispyware 2008 XP is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it's homepage using your HOSTS file.

for windows vista folders, it is located at the ProgramData folder in your disk drive, you have to check the show hidden files and folders tab at the folder options, then you will it, the secure solutions folder.

Glad to help.
