Antispyware 2008 xp is up to no good. This program is part of a new generation of rogue anti-spyware programs. These programs are malicious software (malware) in disguise. Antispyware2008xp would like you to believe that they can scan and remove malware, but this is actually a front for their malware program to download itself on your computer.

It will start out with a pop up ad that looks like it came from your computer system. This window will be convincing with similar graphics to common operating systems in order to get you to trust the program without question. The screen will urge you that there is a danger of your computer being infected and that they are willing to give you a free scan to check for problems.

Once you have approved the program to do a free scan of your system, you have simultaneously given them the permission to download their program onto your hard drive. But, you will be unaware of what is really going on. The antispyware2008xp will show you elaborate things with their graphics that are very convincingly showing you their scanning of your computer. Unfortunately, this is all fake. The scan will show you false results that are just made up to worry you that you have horrible programs lurking on your hard drive.

Then the program will solicit money from you by informing you that they can remove all of these malwares from your computer if you buy their full version of their software. However, please be aware, this program is not able to scan your computer for malware, nor can it remove malware either!
Whether you bought the full version of this software or just did the full scan, you most likely are stuck with this malware. Initiating the free scan is enough to get you infected.

So, now you must remove the malware. These programs are not like any other program, you cannot just hit uninstall or remove in your start tray. These malwares are equipped with Trojan horses that disguise themselves in temporary files named to look like essential programs and folders that make your computer run. So, if you go in to remove this program file by file, you will most likely miss one or a few.
The problem with this lies in the fact that these programs are not just messing up your computer to toy with you, they are using their technology to gain private information from you to use for their own profit. So, things like your credit card number are at risk here.
But, you can find experts at removing these programs. Look for a company that offers a 100% guarantee, so you can be totally confident that they will go in and do their job to your satisfaction.
