I hope someone can help me!!!! I stupidly downloaded an xp anti spyware. I gave them my credit card number too. I could not get it to work at all so i became suspicious of it. I
I am trying to find a telephone number to call them to get them to credit my card. I emailed them many times and have not heard back from them. Is there anything I can do about this?

If you’ve given out your credit card number, call your Bank IMMEDIATELY and tell them the card has been lost or stolen. They’ll issue a new one with a new number, and the crooks can’t continue charging your old CC number. I would do that before I do anything else. You’ll have to notify all your legit CC vendors - but that’s less hassle than trying to file disputes against malicious charges later - trust me.

Had this malware on my friends PC try using Malwarebytes first, it would have saved me re loading my friends operating system again, its a brilliant program, no spyware and virus free, even Norton could not stop fully the effects of this lousy malware - so called XP Antivirus 2008, to anyone without a suspicious mind it looks legit so my poor friend downloaded it via email. No system restore no desktop settings no control panel, computer wrecked and slowed to a crawl, took me 4 days to completely clear, thank for the advice on this site, don’t download Spy hunter as sugessted on some sites, I thinks its related to xp antivirus. Use Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org and Superantispyware both available from a safe site like http://www.cnet.com Other good advice on other posts on this site- http://www.windowsvistaplace.com/xp-antivirus-2008-removal-instructions-xp-antivirus-

this is where I got some good advice. Make no mistake XP ANTIVIRUS 2008 is malware, trojan, spyware all in one do not download it.

I just had to get the Heebie Jebbies too didn’t I….

Here is the deal.

I got this virus, and my computer comptely turns blue. I lose my start option and everything. I can not take it off through add remove programs I get an error. So I manually bring up task manager I put myself in safe mode as the Admin and went to “regedit” and removed the files that were obviouslyy connected. Although the files did not say XP anti-virus they were jumbled letters that corresponded the ones in my process that I ended.

I went to “msconfig” ended all process. I recycled the 2 Anti-Virus on my desk top and went to program files and got rid of the ones that were suspicious as well.

Still when I turn on my computer everything disappears I still am only allowed to see the blue background. I can only access stuff through task manager. It is still there in add remove programs but when I try to delete it says it has already been removed.

I am confused and need some help….

Anyone have any advice for me please?

None of the above instructions helped me get rid of XP Antivirus 2008 - it is still fully on my computer. I have been able to rid my computer of the annoying program xp antivirus running on the bottom menu bar and stopped it from popping up every couple of seconds but I will have the blue screen, background wall paper, & when windows first starts up.

Any suggestions??
