XP Home System Repair – A Master of Disguise

The feature that makes XP Home System Repair unique is the way it can change masks to fit XP Home System Repair's environment. XP Home System Repair is only one of the many possible disguises this rogue security program can wear to infect a computer with Windows XP, in this case. If the computer were running Windows Vista, XP Home System Repair would just as easily be called Windows Vista Home System Repair or, if the operating system were Windows 7, XP Home System Repair would put on its Win 7 Home System Repair mask. As part of its installation process, XP Home System Repair detects the operating system on the infected computer. Then, it downloads a name and skins from three possible sets of disguises, each one of these corresponding to each of the three major Windows operating systems (Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 7.) This chameleon-like tactic makes XP Home System Repair difficult to eradicate and control by anti-malware programs, since XP Home System Repair is constantly shifting and changing its appearance and name.
