XP Total Security 2011 or XP Total Security is a threat that will try to get over your privacy and steal your money.

I also using my I-phone went to the Internet and looked up xp 2011 and got u guys. 30 seconds Into reading your info……I took off our the house to the nearest ATM took out the money I had just put on my self loading debit card. I thank you. Money is hard to come by as I was recently laid off. I ‘m trying to remove it now following the steps outlined on your web site, I’m not very computer savvy so it’s slow going. Remember I told you that I wrote a email to the support group of bogus XP 2011 twits ………they emailed me back the next day(my email comes to my I-phone I’m writing you on it now).The email said that the virus will erase it’s self in 6 days don’t worry and to reset my time and date at that time it was from Support XP 2011 ( more BS)Thanks to you guys I know this is BS……..also the date was entered day month year not month day year (European as allowed to American).

I SUDDENLY GOT XP TOTAL SECURITY 2011 POPUPS. HOW DO I DELETE THEM?
After weeks of dealing with this evil monster, I found this free, extremely fast, and totally effective solution:
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684
I got this and did a System Restore, this seemed to fix the problem, but now some other things are screwed up, some examples are:
1. When I try to open the System Restore application again, it says it doesn’t know what application to use to open the rstrui.exe file.
2. The touchpad controller on my laptop is gone and when I try to open the mouse configuration, it says C:\WINDOWS\system 32\rundll32.exe not found
Any ideas on how to really get back to where I was?
LA: 1st – you will need to fix .exe file permissions. It looks like restore point has not fixed everything. I would do it again, to older date
@admin
Thanks. I ended up downloading a removal program that seems to have done the trick. It still found the trojan, so I suspect it was only a matter of time before I would have seen problems again.
Thank you so much for your info on this page, it is very helpful!
So, my mother has aquired this virus on her desktop computer and she has asked me to fix it. I’ve read several articles about how to remove this virus but all include downloading an antivirus/antimalware program. I can’t do this since my internet will not work, at fault of the virus. I am needing other solutions.
Will system restore work?
How do i enter the registry code 1147-175591-6550. Or any registry code, for that matter!
Any response, any help, any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Please Help!
System restore might fix your PC enough. However, you will need to run System updates and install and scan with GOOD antivirus and anti-malware or this malware can come back.
@admin
Alright, thank you so much! I’ll do just that! Thanks again!
Need helpremoving XP total security essentials. Ithas appeared onbothmy and my wife’s netbooks.
needsoftwareagain
The registry code worked wonders with my computer!
i can finally get on the internet again.
thank you soo much(:
i entered the reg code and it lets me on the internet but the xp total security icon is still in the bottom right corner. is it safe to enter passwords
I would consider removing XP Total security 2011. However, I doubt it is installed with keylogger on its own.
Is this program or kapersky legit?
I have taken the steps outlined to remove infected registry entries and am noticing similar entries in the .exe/exefile locations…should these be deleted, as well?
Thanks.
Also, not that I mean any offense…I have been using MBAM, ESET, ComboFix, HJT, for the record. I had a subscription to McAfee and have some kind of overseas tech support which helped me fix an audio problem…but I downloaded PCDoctor or some such thing and it ended up being infected. These bogus programs are just so shady!
Both Kaspersky and Spyware Doctor is legit. Kaspersky focuses on overall protection (like ESET) and started as antivirus program. Spyware Doctor focuses more on anti-malware protection/removal.
XP Total Security has infected my computer. If I get online it reverts the webpage back to the XP Total Security page. I can not navigate the internet. How in the heck can I download a program to get rid of XP if I can’t even access the internet?
Thanks
Just read about the registery code. THe Administration reply about Quick restore did not work for me. HOw and where does one apply the registry code?
thanks
Rick. Allow it to scan, and choose manual registration
im trying to get this xp total security thing off my computer but it wont allow me to long on the internet so i can download something to get it off…Any suggestions anyone????
I found it easier to kill the process by waiting for the program to appear on-screen, then open Task Manager, right-click the only application running, selected the process, and killed it. Then, searched for the file name using the name of the program I killed.
I came up with “NFR.EXE-22C6C719.pf”. It is a .pf file, but the time data seems to fit when it appeared on my computer. Should it be deleted?
I have tried to download malware but it requests that i choose a programme to run it from each time. I cannot perform the system restore as it wont open without asking for me to choose a programme to open it with. If anyone can help this would be very much appreciatated, thank you.
