You all need to know that there is (2) two addtional addtional or varients of "XP antivirus 2008" exist.

1/ It is "Antivirus 2008" (free download) this program must come in on some Malware.
This prog. when download will put (2) two files into your Program Files Folder.
1/ Antivirus 2008
2/ Antivirus 2008y
you will be able to remove the "Antivirs 2008" but not the "Antivirus 2008y". Because it is a closed user Program.

2/ It is "Antivirus pro 2008" (free download) this program must come in on some Malware.

The following Web sites will assit you if you are unfortunite to download.

1/ Wikipedia.org/Spyware
Computer security - Wiki-Security, the free encyclopedia of computer security

2/ Alert: XP Antivirus 2008 badware Program
