XP Antispyware 2010 Removal

XP Antispyware 2010, which is also known as XPAntispyware2010, belongs to the family of Operating System-specific rogue anti-spyware programs to which Win 7 Antispyware 2010 and Vista Antispyware 2010 belong. XP Antispyware 2010 gets installed on the user’s computer via Trojans that get downloaded from dangerous websites. Once installed, this rogue software performs fake system scans on the user’s computer, returning false results that show that the user’s system is under threat from a large number of dangerous malware programs. It also generates endless fake pop-ups from the Windows taskbar warning that the user’s computer is under threat. The aim of all this activity is to try and convince the user to purchase the license to the ‘full’ version of XP Antispyware 2010 by claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is incapable of properly removing the detected false ‘threats’. However, it is important to remember that XP Antispyware 2010 is a fake application and therefore none of its versions can scan or clean any system.
