Antivirus XP 2008 is a new rogue anti-spyware application that is advertised by malicious websites. Everything is very simple, when users come into site with rogue content it loads fake security warning about infection. After use click on any pop-up or add AntivirusXP 2008 will be downloaded and installed automatically. In some cases this parasite may be installed without user’s permission. Notice that any web site cannot know what is running on your computer.
After Antivirus XP2008 embeds in to the computer it will display large amount of pop-ups with imaginary information about infections. And as a rule all these apparent infections can only be removed after user purchases a license. More AntivirusXP2008 can change a background of monitor into a scaring message stating you are infected. Even more parasite is able to fabricate browser page claiming that Google has found an infection on your computer. Isn’t it funny that search engine looks up for the viruses? Of course all these notifications are only a scare tactics and should be ignored. We recommend you to get rid of it as soon as possible.
