Found new rogue antispyware - XPSecurityCenter

XPSecurityCenter is a new version of WinReanimator. The program is a rogue antispyware. Usuallly, rogue antispyware infects systems via misleading advertising on free download, warez and porn websites, trojans and browser security holes. XPSecurityCenter reports false or exaggerated system security threats on the computer. The user is then prompted to pay for a full license of the application in order to remove the errors.

XPSecurityCenter screenshoot

XPSecurityCenter can be installed from the XPSecurityCenter . com

Hijackthis shows infection:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [XP SecurityCenter] C:\Program Files\XPSecurityCenter\XPSecurityCenter.exe /hide

I would recommend that you follow the instructions - how to use Spyware Removal Forum and post your logs in the spyware removal forum. I will check your logs and advise you on XPSecurityCenter removal.
