How tricky the man could be if he wants to swindle out some money! XP Police Antivirus can serve as a good example to it. It works using rather simple and typical for such kind of rouge program kind of activity. Firstly it appears with the help of Trojan as an annoying advertisement pop-up. The next step is a fake free scanning and, of course, stating that your PC is contaminated with some virus (be sure – it is ravings). Ideally (for them) you will be scared which will make you buy a full version of XP Police Antivirus.

XP Police Antivirus (XPPolice Antivirus) is a typical rogue anti-spyware program, which is advertised by Trojans by means of fake security alerts. They usually state that you computer is contaminated with some malware. Just after clicking this alert you will be redirected to the special site promoting XP Police Antivirus and proposing other fake products (some online antimalware scanners etc.). Be sure, their main strategy is just to scare you into purchasing their antivirus program, but don’t forget that you don’t need any (especially fake one) as you don’t really have any malware in your PC (at least not stated by XP Police Antivirus). Besides that, don’t try to delete ‘infected files’. Unfortunately I’m almost sure that you can’t get rid of XP Police Antivirus on your own hook. Notwithstanding the fact that XP Police Antivirus is not so danger, but it still can be rather annoying and disturbing. It will be set to start automatically just after you switch your computer on.
