Replies Ju5tin Posted at 1:05 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 Oh man, I think I had that EXACT same virus... I think. When I had, I just ran AVG and Norton and it tracked down the infected file, so I just deleted the file, since it wasn't a directory key or anything... If you do track down the infected file and you plan on deleting, LET ME KNOW FIRST!!

Try to navigate to Google and download a Pop-Up-Blocker to stop the nuisance.\ H§ 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. Miss MarieTM Posted at 12:47 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 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? tipsypixy Posted at 12:47 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 It is an ad...don't worry about it.... andrewcool Posted at 12:46 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 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.
