I never wanted it, please remove it so it will stop annoying me. It has infected my system….it is unwanted. I believe it is very unethical for a company to do what you are doing

Debra,
we are NOT in any way associated with “Antivirus XP 2008″ nor any other spyware.
the aim of this blog is to help people get rid of spyware.
you can delete “Antivirus XP 2008″ manually, as you can get a reputable anti-spyware to delete it for you.
I hope I clarified your confusion.

This got on my computer too and it has it all messed up, i think they should have the death penalty for anyone who puts viruses or false programs, etc on people’s computers, maybe a firing squad, we could all have rifles and let them have it, ha!

I have this nasty thing. I can not get to the websites to download the removal software – my only hope is manual removal – and that scares the you-know-what out of me. I didn\’t ASK for this software, I hate when I type a webaddress in, it changes it and sends me elsewhere (does it KNOW what I want to do?) and the one time I was able to get to a site to download a remover, it told me that it wouldn\’t execute – something about a 32-bit problem… God help me this weekend when I do it myself!

I am furious that this thing has infected my computer. As an attorney I am aware of laws that exist to protect against fraud. Can anyone tell me what agency has authority/jurisdiction so I can get something done about these vultures?

I actually had this and thought it was safely removed, but it has come back again. I paid t-he $50 and searched online and found a blog like this with a phone number (866-521-4864) and my money was returned. I know, I can\’t believe it either. It was a complete shock to me that they returned my money within like three days. Anyone who \"paid\" this f*&^ing company can call and try to get thier money back also. You need to have printed out your confirmation with an order number.
