What To Do If You've Been Had By XP Security Center, XP Antivirus, or Other Fraudware

It's understandable if you were taken in by XP Security Center.  The interface looks so professional, nice and clean.  It may have even detected real threats to your computer, just like it said.  Unfortunately, programs like this often release those very same threats into your computer.  This way, it looks like real anti-spyware that might be worth paying for.  But it's not. 

But many of us are duped.  It's nothing to feel too bad about.  But it IS something you should do something about!  The frauds that came up with XP Security Center, and subsequently took your money, reside in Russia, which will make it damn hard to get your money back.   

Make sure you alert your bank or credit company about your purchase.  Even if you can't get your money back, you can still cancel your card and make sure you don't get charged again!  (This happens, so cancel ASAP!) Then, get yourself some real anti-spyware software and get rid of XP Security Center for good!
