Do you know what AntispywareXP 2009 is?

AntispywareXP 2009 (Antispyware XP 2009) was found to be related to Antivirus XP 2008 which we know from a previous removal guide that it is a fake anti-spyware program. AntispywareXP 2009 is no better than Antivirus XP 2008 in that they both facilitate fake popup alerts and warning messages of infections that are not present on your system.

AntispywareXP 2009 may come from a Trojan infection where it is installed automatically without your consent. www.antispywarexp2009.com is another means of spreading the AntispywareXP 2009 program. www.antispywarexp2009.com is a dangerous website that should not be visited under any circumstances.

In non-techie terms: AntispywareXP 2009 was actually designed to force many computer users to waste their money on the purchase of the full AntispywareXP 2009 program. It is best that AntispywareXP 2009 be removed from your system before any damages are done to your personal data or files.

Aliases: AntispywareXP 2009, Antispyware XP 2009, AntispywareXP2009, www.AntispywareXP2009.com.

    Thanks for the guide, I have deleted the actually AntispywareXP 2009, but there is a red circle with a white x icon (in the toolbar area with the time) that is continuing to flash a pop up that says i am infected with spyware and i need to download AntispywareXP 2009 to get rid of it. It is not damaging my computer in any way that i am aware of at the moment but it is quite annoying. I don't see any obvious way to get rid of this icon and whenever i right click it, is starts to download AntispywareXP 2009. Also, when i roll over it with my mouse the pop up automatically appears. If anyone knows what to do to get rid of this please help. Thank You.

    I have not tried your detailed instructions for automatic removal, but I did encounter something that may be of note in your manual removal instructions:

    When I went to the ADD/REMOVE program in Control Panel, and then clicked on the button to remove/change, instead of doing that, the Installer for AntispywareXP2009 was launched. I don't recall, but I am pretty sure that I was in normal mode and not Safe Mode when I attempted this several times.

    Also, it seems as though there should be some REGISTRY entries that need to be deleted for complete removal in the manual process. Did you just avoid those due to the inherent risk of someone messing up their computer if done incorrectly?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Something that I encountered was that when I tried removing the program in Step #1 - Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Double-click on Add/Remove Programs, clicking on the REMOVE button launched the installer for the program!
