Programs like XP Security Center, Vista Antivirus, and XP Defender look like legitimate programs at first. But, as many unlucky computer users have found out, they are nothing but ways to take your money. These programs looks like real anti-spyware programs and tell you that you have threats on your computer. They then urge you to buy a “registered” version of the software.
Unfortunately, many people who buy this “upgraded” software get charged again and again on their card. If this happens to you, don't just stop funds from going to any source in Russia (where these programs come from--and where your money goes!). Make sure you cancel the card entirely because these thieves still have your number!
Then, get some real anti-spyware to get rid of XP Security Center and friends and secure your computer for good!
