XP Antivirus 2012
Posted on June 21st, 2011
As malware is on the increase the sophistication of these attacks are as well. We have had a number of reported incidents over the past 48hrs to our control room of users infected with XP Antivirus 2012 and requiring assistance in the removal process.
This is a rogue anti-spyware program which is intended not to destroy your data but hold it more to ransom. XP Antivirus 2012 requires payment to stop the false claims of infections and will make your computer use unbearable till you either remove it or pay.
Nothing it reports is accurate and it would hardly be able to protect your system, XP Antivirus 2012 dates back quite a number of years and this latest version is more sophisticated in both its infection and delivery as it evolves. Some systems have been infected by codec’s of videos users were viewing online and others from fake flash updates. Either way you need to remove this at once as its biggest asset is that it opens a flood gate on the infected machine inviting other rouge malware to the party non of which are pretty.
Always make sure your windows are always updated as with your definitions of your chosen antivirus/antimalware application, when these fail open a support ticket and we will do the rest.
