How to remove XP SecurityCenter rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
XP SecurityCenter (aka XP Security Center) is a fake anti-spyware solution developed by cyber-fraudsters to gain immense income. Actually, XP SecurityCenter infiltrates new PCs by disguising itself as a video codec or some plugin, so its intrusion will bypass your attention and take place without authorization. When inside, XP SecurityCenter causes multiple PC performance problems to make it look like your system needs a remedy. In addition to the above, XP SecurityCenter also launches a whole misinforming campaign by flooding your system with its exaggerated alerts and deceptive scanners that report a variety of risks to get rid of. These pop-ups and fake scans aim at making you think XP SecurityCenter is just what you need to protect yourself against the “detected” digital infections. The ultimate goal pursued by XP SecurityCenter is to make the potential victim purchase its license and install the full commercial version of the rogue software described here. This malicious plan will not be feasible to implement if you recognize the fraud scheme and refrain from installing XP SecurityCenter. Instead, you should take prompt measures to remove XP SecurityCenter ASAP upon detection – doing so will prevent a major malware invasion and perhaps a system collapse.
