Antivirus XP 2009 may have let other threats into your computer. It often acts as a Trojan horse, connecting to malicious websites to download yet more fake antispyware onto your computer.
It could also have come in a bundle with various kinds of spyware, the kinds that can steal your email login, and even your bank info! These programs can also foul up your computer so much, that you can't even run Windows anymore.
