vote

XP Entertainments is probably a new variant of AvKiller trojan. As of now, only few AV's detect the malicious files.
The dropper - named U.exe - drops following files/folders:
\windows\system32\head.exe
\windows\system32\XPEntertainmentsUninstall.exe
\windows\system32\SoUI.dll
\program files\SoftPortal

Registry entries created by the trojan:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{4748B0B3-B964-41C3-AE0A-F1345E0AC3C9}\InprocServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\\\SoUI.dll"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SoftPortal]
"BasePath"="C:\\Program Files\\SoftPortal\\"

Above-mentioned files contain references to following malicious websites (Do NOT visit these sites):
http://xpsite.org/head/?wmid=3&pid=1
http://api.automaticavupdate.com/UI/v1.1/Soft/
http://api.automaticavupdate.com/UI/v1.1/

Last two links listed above redirect to www.expertantivirus.com, which is the home of rogue software - ExpertAntivirus.

The trojan also adds an Add/Remove Programs entry called XP Entertainments, as shown in below screen shot:
