Answer 4

What XP Antivirus is, is a rogue software program that pretends to be an anti-virus, but it's not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_softw...

If the developers made it look like semi-legitimate, there should be an un-install feature, to un-install do this: Start, Control Panel, Add Or Remove Programs, in the list of programs in the window that come's up, select XP antivirus, Click the Change/Remove button. Then the un-installation process should begin. After that it's officialy removed. If you have doubt's do this: Start, My Computer, or control

Panel, then click the search button(magnifying glass symbol), in the sidebar click: All files and folder, in the All or part of the file name, search box, type in in: XP Antivirus, in the Look in search box select, My Computer, then click search. If you have any result's select them by clicking the item at the top of the list, then while holding down the Shift key, click the item at the bottom of the list, then right click, in the context menu click, Delete. that should remove the file's.

Anti-virus program's that you should consider downloading.

If you want very good protection. I would recommend that you purchase Kaspersky http://www.kaspersky.com/. (From a store like Future Shop, or Staples. So you have the physical copy of the program). From what I have heard about it. It seems to be one of the best protection programs out there And it has hourly updates.

I use all of these myself, and all of them are free, they are very effective.

1 Ad-Aware 2008, Much more effective than previous versions and faster, does not suck up system resources like the previous versions, also there various skins to suit your preferences.

2 Spybot - Search & Destroy, its a little out of date but it works.

3 SpywareBlaster, blocks potentially damaging applications and programs from running.

4 Simple File Shredder, it isn't an anti spy, but it shreds unnecessary files including cookies and it speeds up system performance.

5 MRU-Blaster, detects and cleans MRU (most recently used) lists on your computer. By looking at these MRU lists, someone could determine what files you opened/saved/looked at, what their file names were, and much more! (And, in many cases, the lists are displayed in drop-down menus automatically.) (From website.)

Also. I suggest that you stay away from online anti-spy scans. As it is not hard for a cracker to hack it, and insert some malicious code into the program which after scanning will give you even more virus's. (That's how my computer got infected once, and after that I have been advising people to stay away from them).

I personally don't like AVG, it screwed up my computer after I Un-Installed it, and Avast didn't work for me. And Trend Micro, has poor detection rates (I tried it a few week's ago (downloaded) and scanned, it found 3 items. I ran Ad-Aware after that and it found 18 items that trend micro passed right over).

And I would advise you to stay away from P2P, programs. As they are an excellent vector for infections.

Hope this help's
