xpsecuritycenter has only two pages in Google at the moment, it may not be regarded as a serious threat as it was noticed in the Spring of 2008. However, xpsecuritycenter belongs to a family of rogues.
Many people rely on Site Advisor to check if a domain is good or bad, but site advisor is extremely slow to test and rate, surprising as the site belongs to Symantec McAfee.
For instance malwarebell.com was added to Symantec.com’s Rapid Release April 16, 2008
Yet at Site Advisor it still isn’t rated as of writing, and what about pandora-software.com which was given a green rank.
We tested this site and didn’t find any significant problems.
The domain name might have been a tip off.
An experienced reviewer at Site Advisor posted January 2008 that pandora-software.com is a malicious domain.
