Alright so I keep getting this pop-up thing just about every time I click on anything and it looks like this:

I think I got some sort of virusy-type thing but I don't have the slightest clue what to do about it. I did a quickscan of my computer with my anti-virus software but nothing was detected. Anybody have any idea? I'll give you 70 points if you can help me get rid of this thing.

By the way, if I click okay it tells me to download some spyware thing that is clearly fake. It's called "ieDefender-setup.exe"

Download AVG-Free antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy. Run both of those and they should clean it off.

It's a pop-up, upload a different type of antispyware, and it should go away...

It's an advertisement from a spy ware company, its bollox, close it. Try to navigate to Google and download a Pop-Up-Blocker to stop the nuisance.\

Its spyware and could be adware. Download AVG. Plus I think this is the wrong forum to post this stuff in. Tech Forum should be the right one.

It is actually just an advertisement for a anti-spyware program. Or furthermore, a pop-up designed to "look" legitimate and professional enough to make you think you have a virus, so that you will download their "most likely" pricey spyware.

Do you have a pop-up blocker installed?

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It's making up a trojan that you don't really have for you to click it and buy their software.
