Programs like Antivirus 2008 and XP Antivirus are malicious fraudware programs that pretend to be real antivirus programs. They pretend to pick up system threats that other programs don't; then they try to get you to buy the "registered" versions.
Unfortunately, they often keep up the charade in front of real antivirus programs, making them look legit. They do this either by generating morphic files, or else hiding files in the System32 folder. If you don't know what these are, just trust me when I say they're pretty sneaky things to do!
I've got a favorite tool called Spyzooka that can fix these kinds of problems. You don't have to try it out--but I think after you've tried some other programs, you might want to!
