Description: Antivirus 2008 XP (or Antivirus2008XP) is a rogue anti-spyware, a software that uses malware (malicious software) or malicious tools to advertise or install itself or to force computer users to pay for removal of nonexistent spyware. Antivirus 2008 XP will often install a trojan horse to download a trial version, or it will execute other unwanted actions.
It intentionally misrepresents the security status of a computer and attempts to convince the user that he or she must remove potentially unwanted programs or security risks (usually nonexistent or fake) from the computer.
