The most popular way for XP Security malware to come into the targeted Windows XP system is through Trojan horses that are known to be able to use system security vulnerabilities while getting inside. Once trial version is installed, it will be configured to start once the computer boots up. This is done with the help of ave.exe executable file which launches malware instead of any other process. Operating each time PC users log on, the first thing it shows is fabricated system scanners that report non-existent and totally invented threats. Annoying scanners will be accompanied by pop-up ads and security notifications that all will also tell the same story that virus activity was detected and you must remove it. Therefore, normally program offers a solution how people can fix everything and it’s of course the commercial version of XP Security.

XP Security 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 XP Security can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads XP Security trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, XP Security offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, XP Security 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.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as XP Security, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install XP Security, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as XP Security, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
