I've picked up this spoof security alert that comes under the name 'XP Home Security - Unregistered Version'. It keeps bringing up warnings such as 'Privacy Threat', 'Critical System Alert' and so on. How do I get rid of it? I use Avira and Spybots. Thanks, John H
If you hav'nt done so already, hit the OFF button & then reboot. If you did'nt do that immediately & you are infected, here is how to remove.

John, XP Home Security is a tricky virus. It can change its name to Vista Home Security and Windows 7 Home Security. Your operating system should be Windows XP. To completely remove XP Home Security, you can manually remove certain parts of the virus listed on this web site: http://www.onlinepcsavior.com/unins... and then use your Avira and Spybots to scan your PC again.
Brilliant, I've followed your advice and that seems to have solved it, fingers crossed.
Thank you for your help, much appreciated, Long John
