I would not trust it. Download trusted anti-virus programs like AVG, Avast or Avira and anti-spyware applications like Spybot and Adaware.

don't trust it, it's a scam. it can't do anything besides loading security pop-ups and those pop-ups can be ignored because they are fabricated. the main goal of xp antivirus 2008 is to gain purchase, but this program is useless, so don't spend your money on it, unless you wanna support malware creators.

you can see yourself that xp antivirus is a computer parasite if you try to uninstall it. xp antivirus 2008 will stay on your computer unless you run anti spyware scan or delete it manually. i recommend manual removal, cos you don;t need to download nor buy anything this way. here's removal instructions: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-xpantivi...
No. Do not install xp antivirus 2008.

It won't kill your computer or anything, but it's a scam. It'll create harmless entries in your registry that it'll show as "infections", but won't let you remove them until you buy the software. In short, it'll cry wolf and make you pay.
