  1. Hi! There is a simple way to solve the problem. Go to this link and download this program called Malwarebytes.

    http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant...

    When you're done downloading, install it and the main menu will show up. Click quick scan. Trojans, Antivirus, and other things will start showing up. click remove and it tells you to restart the cpu. When you restart it, go to add or remove program and Antivirus XP will be gone.I hope this will help. :)

  6. Antivirus XP 2008 (or AntivirusXP2008, AntiVirXP08, AntivirusXP 2008) is a rogue antispyware program. This program is a clone of Xp Antivirus, XPAntivirus2008, Antivirus2008, Antivirus 2008. Or you can say that Antivirus XP 2008 is just XPAntivirus2008 by another name. Just like Xp Antivirus, Antivirus XP 2008 uses fake pop up messages, fake security warnings to trick user into buying "full" version of Antivirus XP 2008. Usually users can infect them self with Antivirus XP 2008 through a Trojan, like Zlob. Antivirus XP 2008 usually launches when user starts up Windows.

    "Warning! Spyware detected on your computer" is a result of rogue antispyware program called Antivirus XP 2008 that infects user’s computer system. This adware hijacks users desktop, it changes wallpaper with this message:

    “Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer”

    "Warning! Spyware detected on your computer" can also change users homepage and show this type of message:

    ”Insecure internet activity. Threat of virus attack”

  7. You might need to download a plug-in for photoshop.

    Check the adobe website and type in the problem and search the community to see if it's a plug-in  that you need.

    If so, there will be a link to download it and install for free and that should fix the problem.
