Recently, my laptop has been infected with a FRAUD anti-spyware program called Antispyware2008XP. And it’s a real pain! Every time I click on a site from google, for example youtube, instead of taking me straight to youtube I go to some “other” place that looks kinda like this:
http://www.site-sift-templates.com/wp-co…
Therefore, I have to click Cached just so I can get to the right site & I’ve tried everything that I thought could help me:
-Ad-Aware 2008
-Spyware Doctor
-SmitfraudFix
-Spybot Search & Destroy
-How to remove Antispyware2008XP instructions
But none of them seems to fully get rid of Antispyware2008XP (I still see it’s icon in the Add or Remove Programs list). Please help me!

The easiest way to fix it is using Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware (Download it, update it, do a full scan, and remove everything it finds).
I would also recommend the following programs to make sure that you don’t get infected again in the future:
Spybot - Search & Destroy
Avira AntiVir Personal
Spyware Doctor Starter Edition
