AXPDefender Descriptions:

AXPDefender, or AXP Defender, advertises itself as a system protection software, but conversely, is a counterfeit anti-spyware software which will screw up your computer just like other rogue antispyware software. AXPDefender disguises itself as a video codec or ActiveX control then installed in your PC without your notice and consent. AXPDefender will then display annoying and misleading system popups to trick user to buy the paid version of AXPDefender. Not only does it cause your machine to slow down dramatically, it would also put your privacy and data in risk. Make sure you backup all important data before you proceed. Here are the things that you need to do in order to remove XP Security Center.
