This morning my computer was automatically installed with a fake anti-spyware program called Antirus XP 2008. I can't seem to be able to remove it. I've gone to multiple websites all morning and tried to uninstall it but ive been unsuccessful so far. Does anyone know of a FREE anti-spyware program that will remove this program and other spyware, and do a decent job of it, on my computer?
When I go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-xp-antivirus-2008-2009 and try to install the Malware program, I get a pop-up that says, "Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0×3" and the download is aborted. Helppp. I need to get this off my computer.

Sounds like your Infected bad! Follow my directions exactly:
1) First un-install your current Anti-virus Program now this may seem scary at first but it is vital.
2) Go to http://www.avast.com and download the home version
3) Update avast! and then run a boot time scan to detect any nasty that may have been hiding in memory.
===NOTE===
avast! I think is one of the best Anti-virus program there is. Other people may recommend AVG, but AVG has bad detection rates and a bad User Interface. If you have any question about Anti-virus programs or about anything feel free to e-mail me.
4) Go to http://www.ccleaner.com and download and run the tool
5) Next go to http://www.safer-networking.org and download Spy Bot Search and Destroy, update it and run a scan.
===NOTE===
There are other anti-spyware applications out there like Spy-ware Doctor and Windows Defender, But Spy-ware Doctor has had a seedy past and Windows Defender has bad detection rates.
6) Now this my seem like it gets a bit redundant but it is vital to make sure your computer is clean.
7)Next run an online scan by going to http://www.google.com and then type in ***Bitdefender Online Scan*** minus the stars of course.
9) Now if you followed my instruction you should have a 100% clean computer
Now I love getting e-mails so if you have a Question feel free to e-mail them to me! Sometimes it may be a day or 2 before I have time to answers them though.
