How to Delete Xtrap
XTrap is a tool created with the sole purpose of stopping users from exploiting some games developed by Outspark, such as Fiesta. XTrap is know to scan the entire computer for hacks and bots and kick you out of the game if it finds any. When the Fiesta game is installed, an entry called "Xtrap.xt" is also installed into the registry of your computer. If this registry entry would generate an error, it could cause your computer to crash and even cause loss of data in extreme cases. Some anti-virus tools mark XTrap as potentially malicious software.
