    "Omg you have a virus! Click ok!"

    Basically i came back from the shower, and i have a window open as soon as i walk back and it's like
    "omg you have a virus, exiting out of the page will harm your computer"
    So i clicked alt f4, it exits out, and i have a popup from norton that says it blocked the threat
    Anyway, i run a scan with malware antibytes, found nothing, ran a scan with norton, found nothing too.
    I would system restore, but i just got the computer yesterday, there's no system restore points.
    So what do i do? Am i still infected?
    Help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

    If Norton popped up, that usually means it blocked the virus.

    Can't be certain though. If you scanned with both you have a good chance of being okay

    if you got it yesterday and your really concerned, you could just format it, if you don't have much sensitive material on your hard drive.

    Was it a message from YOUR anti virus software?

    It could of been a fake program replicated a typical antivirus screen telling you have a virus and then when you actually click on it to "delete" it you get infected

    More isn't better. A lot of times anti(insertnamehere) programs will conflict with each other and do less good that any single on installed by itself.

    This. Just stick with one. I use Avast personally.

    Also, download Malwarebytes' Antimalware now and run a scan. This is the best virus CLEANER out there. Norton (and Avast, AVG, etc) is only good for virus DETECTION.

    I've got norton 60 day trial, Nod 32, Malware antibytes, and spybot s&d.
    I've ran a scan with them all in safe mode, nothing came up. I still don't know where the virus came from -__-, i doubt it's FUD.
