RegistryCleanerXP
RegistryCleanerXP is a rogue anti-spyware tool that pretends to be a Windows registry clearing application. Using trojans and browser security holes to infect systems across the Internet, RegistryCleanerXP silently installs itself on users’ hard drives without their knowledge or consent.
RegistryCleanerXP uses scare tactics to persuade its victims into buying the full RegistryCleanerXP version after running counterfeit Windows registry scans and presenting exaggerated and falsified scan reports.
