XJR Antivirus is a malicious program that is related to the notorious rogue program Your Protection. It tries to trick users into paying for a license to its ‘full’ version. XJR Antivirus gets installed on user systems via Trojan viruses that get downloaded along with fake video codec packs. Once installed, it immediately blocks any legitimate security software that the user may have installed on their computer. XJR Antivirus also runs endless fake virus scans and reports that the user’s system is infected with dangerous malicious software. It also displays fake warning pop-ups from the Windows taskbar. Meanwhile it constantly requests the user to upgrade to the ‘full’ version of XJR Antivirus by paying for a software license, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is incapable of properly removing the detected false ‘threats’. However, no user should allow him to be tricked into buying this software, as the ‘full’ version of XJR Antivirus is just as incapable of cleaning a computer system as the ‘trial’ version is.
