I've been seeing this scam getting onto more and more computers, so I thought it was important to get the word out.   If you have a program installed called XP Antivirus 2008, you are infected with a trojan virus.  It looks like a valid antivirus program, but it is not.

XP Antivirus 2008 is one of the latest infections among PC users. XP Antivirus 2008 usually come up after you installed a video codec that come with Trojan, malware and virus. XP Antivirus 2008 normally generates fake and misleading system popup error messages so end-users will be tricked into purchase XP Antivirus 2008.
