A new rogue, known as XP AntiVirus or XPAntiVirus, has been making the
rounds. Typical of fraudware, this rogue anti-virus software creates
registry entries for fake, non-existent malware that it then “detects” when
it scans your PC. This tactic is used to scare you into purchasing the
software.
While the program does come with a removal option, when PC users attempt to
uninstall it, XP AntiVirus will start up again the next time they reboot.
