I think that pop-up is the Virus itself, i think it's Win32-Zlob (family). It's normally recieved via World of Warcraft or Runescape. codyswifeforever Posted at 12:00 pm on Aug. 20, 2006 atcually avast is not a good virus scanner.. if you wanna get rid of any types of viruses.. you avg for sure.. it works well and it detects viruses right away and cleans them automatically for you and also download a spyware program called ewidoanti spyware it works wonders.. you just have to set the settings up and make sure the resident sheild is protected at all times and make sure you run scans all the time.. and it also does that for you and tells you that your fully protected at all times Napster the Hacker Posted at 11:48 am on Aug. 20, 2006 Norton is a crap thats why I said use Avast.If you wanna get rid of it use Avast.   codyswifeforever Posted at 11:41 am on Aug. 20, 2006 sounds like you might have clicked on a pop up by mistake.. those give you viruses.. janis Posted at 11:40 am on Aug. 20, 2006 Norton is protecting you from virus like trojan and wormd This is SPYWARE http://lavasoft.com/ :D rosebud Posted at 11:39 am on Aug. 20, 2006 yeah just so you know spyware quake is one of those fake virus scanners http://www.spywareguide.com/product_show.php?id=2806 have a http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/How_to_Remove_SpywareQuake-t104439.html to get rid of it andrewcool Posted at 11:39 am on Aug. 20, 2006 and go to run, msconfig and make sure that it doesn't run when you restart your computer. luxy Posted at 11:39 am on Aug. 20, 2006 NO!!!! i have norton, its good, but this IS the virus, i cant get rid Napster the Hacker Posted at 11:38 am on Aug. 20, 2006 I think its some kind of a pop up, but how can a pop up make you PC slow.   nycboy9114 Posted at 11:37 am on Aug. 20, 2006 thats called spyware or adware. and its a totally different scanner janis Posted at 11:37 am on Aug. 20, 2006 Try better this http://lavasoft.com/ Most recent 15 of 21 previous replies displayed.
