I was recently surfing the web and now I seem to have a new antivirus
software working on my machine. The name is XP Antivirus ver. 2.4.
It always wants to scan my machiine but won't correct any bad files
unless I purchase it first. I tried to unistall it but when I
restarted my machine it is back again. My normal AVG antivirus
software is not finding any bad files but this new one does. How do
I get rid of it?

You've been infected with malware (of the "protection racket" type). Try
