Answer 1

Its a virus that is telling you that you are infected. It asks you to do a full scan or to purchase it know?

Anyway google  for manual removal of windowsxp antivirus .

Many links are there,but each tells a different way. I was not affected by it anytime. So i can't say what will be the perfect removal solution.

But one thing is sure,it won't go by using any antivirus or anti spyware.
