I have a rather strange situation on my hands.
XP Antivirus Pro 2010 (or some variation on that name) installed itself on my laptop - despite the fact I had Avast! Home working the whole time.
Not wanting to bother with the never-ending process of attempting to remove it, I simply planned to back-up my files and restore the OS.
However, I didn't have the time to restore and still needed to access my files on the laptop, so I simply turned off my WiFi so the XP Antivirus Pro 2010 would be unable to communicate with the web.
After about 2 weeks of barely using my laptop, I turned it on and found no trace of XP Antivirus Pro 2010: it didn't start up with Windows, it wasn't present in my system tray, and it didn't block my internet navigation...
Did it literally remove itself or is it likely still present, lurking in the background?
Any reason for me into restore my system?
