How to Remove Malware Rogue Applications: XP Repair XP Recovery XP Fix or their Variants
After a long and frustrating “trial and error” last week-end I successfully got my laptop up and running again. This is my second struggle with a “malware program” in two years. Because of the “Hijack” of my Program folder and the hidden file feature of this particular “XP Repair” malware program, it made my first experience look like a piece of cake. The moral of my story is NEVER!!! NEVER!!! EVER!!! allow an UNKNOWN blocked site or UNKNOWN program to gain access to your computer. When in doubt BLOCK IT.
