   Antivirus XP 2008 has been scamming many people off late. It installs on your pc shows false scanning showing that you have plenty of viruses and to remove them you will have to purchase the Antivirus XP 2008. Seeing this many people have already shelled out there hard earned money for this fake software. Besides this it also slows down your pc making it impossible to work. Well following are some of shots of this virus

   1. Open task manager(Ctrl+Alt+Del) & kill the following processes in the following order
   (the exact names of the files will differ but they will be 12 character long)
   (Also note the names of the files before deleting as at all places the variation of name will be there accordingly. Because of variation I will be using Virus1 for the first file and Virus2 for the second file)
   rhc1cdj0e12r.exe
   pphc5cdj0e12r.exe

   2. Now open C:\windows\system32(Assuming you have windows installed in C drive) and trace Virus2 and delete it

   3. Next open c:\program files and find the folder named Virus1. Delete the entire folder.

   4. Next delete all traces of Antivirus XP 2008 from desktop and start menu(shortcuts)

   5. Empty recycle bin

   The following steps require registry editing so follow them carefully. Improper editing could lead to system crash.

   6. Go start menu->run-> type ‘regedit’ and press enter. Regsitry Editor will open up.

   7. Navigate to
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
   Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
   Locate and delete virus1 using right click

   8. Next Navigate to
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
   Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
   Locate & delete SMvirus1 using right click

   9. Now go to
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
   Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
   Uninstall\rhc1cdj0e12r
   del key Virus1 using right click

   10. Now
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
   Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
   Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform
   Locate ‘AntivirXP08’ on right side and delete it.

   Now there is only one step left which can be performed only when you log in to windows next time.

   11.Navigate to
