Answer 7

There is new spyware on the Internet that calls itself Antivirus 2009 (there is an older version called Antivirus 2008 as well). Both generate fake and misleading popup error messages so you are tricked into believe that your computer is infested with viruses and that you need to purchase a program to remove them. This spyware program hides on websites that offer free programs as well as downloads that are spread through file-sharing programs like Limewire.

The first step to stop this is by being aware of what is going on. If you get a pop up when surfing the Internet that appears to be scanning your computer, try to close the browser window by clicking the red X on the top right corner. If the pop up windows gives you a YES/NO option or has any other form of message box with just an OK to click on, try to resist. The spyware program needs acknowledgement from the computer user before it can install itself, so any interaction from you can trigger an installation. Clicking the red X on top of any window often works. Another option is to click ALT+F4 repeatedly until all windows on your screen are closed.
