XP Antispyware 2012 Removal Guide

Since there has been a 2011 name-changing rogue, there definitely has to be the 2012 name-changing rogue, and here comes one of its variants called XP Antispyware 2012. Just as its name says, it targets machines that run on Windows XP operating system. The other part of the name (Antispyware, Anti-virus or Security) is chosen randomly, so there are many versions of the same rogue.

Just like any other rogue antispyware application XP Antispyware 2012 enters your computer with intention to rip you off. It does not need your permission to slither into your system, as it can easily make use of fake online malware scanners that declare your computer is infected, and you need to download antivirus software that would take care of the parasites residing in your hard drive. It is very unfortunate, that quite a few users get tricked by this, and they actually believe that XP Antispyware 2012 is a legitimate piece of software, because it copies the layout and color scheme of Windows Security Center.

It also modifies your internet browser settings and blocks you from opening any website, with a pretext that the websites you are trying to access are also infected.
