Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 This is definitely not a hoax. It is called: Kill Antivirus XP 2008 Masquerading as software to protect your machine from threats, the "rogue" security program Antivirus XP 2008 uses deceitful and invasive tactics to con users. The fraudulent software will detect nonexistent viruses and other malware and use continuous pop-up windows to advertise the scam.Although Antivirus XP 2008's antics are well known, it seems to have lately affected a rash of new users. It's also doubtful that the scamware will disappear anytime soon. Sunbelt's Eckelberry recently noted the arrival of a new rogue clone, named XP Protector 2009.One interesting aspect of the recent Antivirus XP 2008 outbreak is that many users with adequate antispyware and firewall protection are still finding themselves infected.
