Hi, I currently clicked on an ad accidentally and right away my background changed to this warning thing and had the fake blue screen screen saver. I read all of these guides how to remove it. Here is the thing…I never installed antivirus xp 2008, I knew it was a hoax but that pop-up kept coming up. I follow directions and got ride of all the files but here is my problem…
My computer is struggling getting on the internet and logging off and is a bit sluggish now. What can I do to fix this problem with my computer’s performance?

This is how I got rid of Antivirus XP 2008. It is different than the XP Antivirus 2008 most sites refer to.
First you need to stop the program from loading on startup. This is what you do to stop it:
Start, run
Type msconfig
Go to Startup tab
Uncheck lphc35dj0e1an
Uncheck rhc75dj0e1an
Click apply, then ok
Restart computer
Then you need to delete the main files this program uses. Delete the following file:
C:\windows\system32\lphc35dj0e1an.exe
Delete the following folder and all contents:
C:\program files\rhc75dj0e1an
This should remove the program from your system but you probably still have a warning message displayed as your wallpaper in Windows and the virus removed the ability to change the wallpaper or your desktop settings.
To restore ability to change your desktop settings and select a different wallpaper and screen saver do the following:
Start, run
type Gpedit.msc
Navigate to User configuration, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Display
Right click on Remove Display in Control Panel
Click on Properties and select Disabled
Do the same steps to change the following attributes to disabled:
Hide Desktop Tab
Prevent changing wallpaper
Hide Apperance and Themes tab
Hide Settings tab
Hide Screen Saver tab
You should now be able to use your computer normally and change the wallpaper to something other than the warning message Antivirus XP 2008 set it to.

i don’t think you could install antivirus xp 2008 manually even if you wanted to. if you see pop-ups, system alerts or anything else related to antivirus xp, this means that antivirus xp has already infected your computer. it is a computer parasite so it just sticks on a computer without asking if you want it there.
