The site pushes “XPantivirus2008_v77002803.exe” file and detection of this file is really poor.

VirusTotal Scan Result: 1/32 (3.12%)
F-Prot 4.4.2.54 2008.03.30 W32/Downloader.F.gen!Eldorado

Other sites used by this group:

Xp-protect-2008.com

Both these sites share the same IP address 67.228.137.29

Stay away from these sites.
