Do you know what XPertAntivirus is?

DESCRIPTION

XPertAntivirus is another clone of other various rogue anti-spyware programs such as AntiVirXP08, XP Antivirus, Antivirus2008, Antivirus 2009 and XP Antivirus 2008. It goes without saying, XPertAntivirus is another attempt by hackers to take your money in return for a useless application that does not remove spyware.

XPertAntivirus or XPert Antivirus, may be pronounced as Expert Antivirus but we know for sure that XPertAntivirus is no “Expert” at removal or detection of spyware. XPertAntivirus scans your computer displaying erroneous results that really do not make much since. When XPertAntivirus is installed it starts displaying popups as well to get you to purchase the XPertAntivirus program for removal of parasites.

In non-techie terms: XPertAntivirus may be installed from a Trojan infection that could have come from a fake video codec or even a Video ActiveX Object Error which some new flash ads port onto computers. XPertAntivirus should never be taken lightly to the point where you leave it on your computer. You must take the initiative and remove XPertAntivirus.
