XP Antivirus Pro 2010

[_r_255_r_] Info: XP Antivirus Pro 2010, which is also known as XP Antivirus Pro 2010 or XP Antivirus Pro, is a rogue application that tries to induce the user into paying for its software license by mimicking a virus scanner. XP Antivirus Pro 2010 gets installed on a user’s system via Trojans and malicious software that are downloaded from the internet. Once installed, it displays a large amount of fake virus warnings, performing fake scans of the system. It also displays fake pop-up warnings that the system is heavily infected with viruses that are non-existent. Then XP Antivirus Pro 2010 claims that the currently installed ‘trial’ version of the software is incapable of properly cleaning out the detected ‘threats’ and asks the user to purchase a license to the ‘full’ version. However, it is important to remember that the so-called ‘full’ version of XP Antivirus Pro 2010 is just as incapable of scanning and cleaning a user’s system as the ‘trial’ version is.
