Total XP Security’s Multiple Disguises
There are many clones of Total XP Security. Hackers create clones of their malicious software to help them evade security measures. Typically, the clones of Total XP Security have similar names. Each instance of this rogue security application has slight differences in the interface, adapts its name to the affected operating system and sometimes add "2011" or "2012" to the end of it. Keep in mind that, regardless of the name it takes, Total XP Security is not a legitimate security program. The interface is only superficial; this program has absolutely no anti-malware capabilities.
Total XP Security’s Error Messages and Fake Alerts
One of the ways Total XP Security tries to frighten users into purchasing Total XP Security is by displaying constant error messages and fake security alerts. For example, Total XP Security may display security alerts for websites that are perfectly safe to browse. One of these alerts will typically look like this:
Internet Explorer alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!
Possible reasons include:
- Dangerous code found in this site's pages which installed unwanted software into your system.
- Suspicious and potentially unsafe network activity detected.
- Spyware infections in your system
- Complaints from other users about this site.
- Port and system scans performed by the site being visited.
Things you can do:
- Get a copy of Total XP Security to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)
- Run a spyware, virus and malware scan
- Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)
Remember to disregard completely anything you may read in the alerts displayed by Total XP Security. These are designed to frighten you into giving up your money.
Removing Total XP Security
To remove Total XP Security, it is recommended that you use a genuine anti-malware application. To stop Total XP Security from starting up and defending itself, you can start up Windows in Safe Mode, use an external device (like a CD or USB drive) to start up Windows, or start up from a different Operating System previously installed on your computer. Since Total XP Security probably didn't attack alone, it is strongly recommended that you run a full scan of your system once Total XP Security is eliminated.
