What is XLG Security Center?

XLG Security Center is a new rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of the recently released XLGuarder (XLife Guarder). This parasite is, essentially, a corrupt spyware remover, which uses illicit methods to spread and trick the user into buying it's "licensed version". XLG Security Center usually uses trojans, such as Zlob, to enter the system, but can also be manually downloaded and installed.

Once inside and active, XLG Security Center will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications to create the illusion that the user is infected. His worries will then be reassured by a fake system scan, which produces a falsified and exaggerated report. To remove the "threats", supposedly detected on the system by XLG Security Center, the user would supposedly have to purchase it's full version.

XLG Security Center doesn't appear to have a homepage, which is really a good enough reason not to trust it, but neither is there any contact information or anything about the company behind it.

XLG Security Center is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it.
