How to remove Advanced XP Defender?
What is Advanced XP Defender?
Advanced XP Defender is yet another rogue program, a clone of such parasites as InfeStop, WinIFixer and SpyAway. All these scams have been found to be released by the same company (if we could call it that) – Pandora Software that has supposedly spent many years in the security industry, but have appeared on the net only in 2007. As soon as Advanced XP Defender gets inside the system, it starts displaying continuous system scanners, alerts and notifications reporting about numerous viruses detected. Instead of falling for these alerts and removing those ‘viruses’, you should remove Advanced XP Defender instead. That’s the main malware on your PC.
Advanced XP Defender is typical rogue, which infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo. This is done by exploiting browser security loopholes, which is why Internet Explorer users are the most common victims of such attacks. Once inside and active, Advanced XP Defender floods the user with pop ups, alerts and fake system notifications reporting numerous viruses detected. Though it may seem that all this is done with the good intention of ‘informing’ you that you are infected and giving you a solution, you should never fall for such trickery. First of all, infections that are reported on Advanced XP Defender alerts are non-existent on the system at all and, additionally, this application can’t fix anything. Advanced XP Defender is created for the only reason – to get the money from its fake license, so please never purchase it. If you have this sneaky malware on board, remove Advanced XP Defender ASAP.

Advanced XP Defender is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Advanced XP Defender can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Advanced XP Defender trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Advanced XP Defender offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Advanced XP Defender does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

One of the worst rogue attacks I’ve seen. Popups every 10 seconds. Then appears as big black bugs that eat up the icons on the desktop display. Eventually all computer functions came to a halt. After purchasing the XPDefender for nearly $100 was never able to completely download the program or get rid of the virus. Had to get a professional exterminator to rid the problem.
