The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

In January my computer froze and a window from XP Security popped up running a scan and showing that I had 27 infections that needed to be removed.When I pressed the remove button it brought me to another window stating that I had to purchase the full version to remove the infections.When I tried to run my other antivirus it wouldn't work.So I purchased the lifetime version of XP Security.One I did that my computer worked again.On July 2nd the same thing happened even though I was suppose to have protection.When I tried to find contact information I couldn't find an email address, web site, phone number or address.All that I could find was that my checking account was debitted $80.59 by skysoftshop.com.Come to find out XP Security is a fake software put into your computer by a trojan.

Yes that's an oldie, but goodie. Next time that happens, start up in Safe Mode and do a system restore and then run your own program (you should be able to without the pop ups unless it's a root kit). Get Norton Anti virus, that works best or try Malware program that's decent as well.
