Severity scale:XPAntivirus severity is 70  (70 / 100)
 
XPAntivirus should be actually called XPVirus, as it is an unwanted corrupt anti-spyware application that infiltrates users' system via false and misleading advertising. Once inside, XPAntivirus 2008 will try to trick you into buying it by claiming you have been infected with spyware and then showing you falsified error reports. XP Antivirus 2008 does not remove any spyware, not does it do anything useful at all. It is designed to milk money from unsuspecting internet surfers. So act accordingly: remove XP Antivirus Protection from your computer immediately! This malware presents itself by several different names: XPAntivirus 2009, XP Antivirus 2008, XP Antivirus 2008 V2.5 and other similar variants, but all the titles hide the same computer parasite.
