  How to uninstall antivirus or antispyware programs?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/how-do-i-uninstall-antivirus-or-antispyware-programs

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.

  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.

• Is XP Total Security virus?

  This seems to be a 'fake' piece of software. He joined himself in the MSFT security software.  He is running a routine continuously saying "Virus Infection". It will launch a scanner that lists the malicious software and where it is located.  the ONLY solution is to activate total security XP software.  When you click on save, it asks your personal information and credit card.  I tried to launch IE and Firefox.  The XP Total Security software blocks access to internet and requires you to revisit the site for credit card information. It's a resident app memory (I think) Security XP logo appears in the toolbar next to "time".  I now use window Malware detection tool, after 2 hours, no results, but it still works.  Any other suggestions? This code is sneaky... and seems VERY genuine.
