Windows x Kill is a rogue antivirus application that's been designed by hackers to try and steal your personal details. This kind of software will place a fake Windows update application onto your system, and will then be able to tell Windows everything from how many viruses you have on your PC to which programs you've opened. If you're looking to remove this virus from your system, it's vital that you're able to get rid of all parts of the infection from your PC in the most effective way - by using an anti-malware program such as "XoftSpy". If you're seeing the Windows x Kills message on your screen, the application is probably the problem that's causing your system to stop working properly.
The best way to remove this infection from your PC is to first download a reliable piece of anti-malware software like XoftSpy & then install it onto your PC. When that's done, load up your system tray and then allow Windows to run as quickly and reliably as possible. It's then advisable that you use the task manager to close all software processes that are running, allowing Windows to free memory. If you're going to manually remove the application from your PC, then the best way to do it is to follow the instructions outlined in this tutorial. We've found that XoftSpy successfully removes the Windows xKill application from our test machines, as well as preventing any further infections from occurring.
After downloading the software, let it install on your PC by clicking on the "scan" button. This will show you all the infections that the virus may have on your system, allowing you to choose whether you want to remove them or not. After that, it will scan your PC for any other viruses that it might find (it will also list the software files & settings that it has found) and allow you to remove them from your system. XoftSpy can be removed by simply deleting the following folder: "windward path" C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Microsoft/Machine/Microsoft Outlook Express/E Outlook Express
