This one was a real pain in the _____(you choose the body part) to get out.

With that said, here’s what you need to do:

5. When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process.

Then click on the Finish button.
6. MBAM will now automatically start and you will see a message stating that you should update the program before performing a scan. As MBAM will automatically update itself after the install, you can press the OK button to close that box and you will now be at the main program as shown below.

12. When MBAM has finished removing the malware, it will open the scan log and display it in Notepad. Review the log as desired, and then close the Notepad window.
13. You can now exit the MBAM program.

Your computer should now be free of the XP Antivirus 2008, XP Antivirus 2009, and XPAntivirus program. If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through, you may want to consider purchasing the PRO version of Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware to protect against these types of threats in the future.

When you google AntivirusXP you get sooo many results and the majority did not work. The information above is from the post I found at: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-xp-
antivirus-2008-2009. This is the only solution that I was successful with.
