Detailed AnalysisThis detection is for a rogue anti-spyware called Antivirus XP 2010 or XP Internet Security 2010. It imitates scanning the system for malwares and wrongly reports active malware detection. It deceives us to register or purchase the full version because only a registered copy offers a full range of features, including removing the reported malwares.
The malware's behavior is similar to
W32/Fakealert.GIJ!tr .
