Do you know what XPAntivirus 2009 is?

DESCRIPTION

XPAntivirus 2009 or XP Antivirus 2009, is a fake anti-spyware program that has come out a bit too soon before the year 2009. Hackers are now jumping the gun in naming some of their malicious programs such as XPAntivirus 2009. It is not 2009 yet is it? We had enough trouble with XP Antivirus and Antivirus 2008 which are related to XPAntivirus 2009. So why a 2009 version now?

XPAntivirus 2009 looks to be newer variant of XP Antivirus that performs the same malicious acts of bombarding you with false popups and bogus system scans to scare you into purchasing the full version. XPAntivirus 2009 can be installed undercover without your permission usually through a Trojan infection such as Zlob.

In non-techie terms: XPAntivirus 2009 should not be downloaded, installed or purchased under any circumstances. XPAntivirus 2009 is useless and does not remove spyware from your system like it claims too. Have you made the mistake of installing XPAntivirus 2009 or purchasing XPAntivirus 2009?
