Canada, EH!
Well the other day when I opened a new IE page I got his message saying :

Code:
Your computer has been infected with a dangerous virus!
Note:it is strongly recommended to install a anti-spyware programs to clean your computer before it crashes!

Click ok if you wish to download an antispyware

Well I didn't want to click ok, just incase it was leading me to another spyware page or virus. So I did some research and found out what type of 'virus' I had gotten somehow.

This is what I found :

Code:
This is an anti-spyware program which, when installed, may
give exaggerated reports of threats in an attempt to
persuade the user to purchase the program. The evaulation
copy that is installed will only show alerts and not
disable or remove any threats - only the purchased copy will do so.
This program is often installed (by malware) without the
user's knowledge or consent.

Now, when I click the message and said 'ok' It took me to a webpage to download sometype of malware, but I needed to buy it, Just as the above message says the 'malware' would do^

I have ran various programs trying to detect it, and have failed. THis is what I have ran :

Spy Sweeper - Many times ( found only cookies )
Spy bot ( search & detroy ) - Many times ( found only cookies )
Eset Nod32 - Found nothing
Advanced Spyware Remover - Found only cookies
XoftspySE - Found nothing

Please, If you one has had this before or knows how to get rid of the 'malware' please let me know!


Note: I download a new program called ' trojan remover ' and I can't scan fully because it says my ' windows prtection shields' are protecting files and with it up, it cannot serach the files. How do I turn this off?
 
Thank you so much! I download SuperAntiSpyware and it found the problem right away and got rid of it! Thanks.

np... you should always have anti virus software as well as anti spyware/malware
 
ahahahahhaha norton lmfao.. thats a nice joke bro, but yes as previousley stated, ad aware is a very powerful, successful anti virus program.
