Answer 4

antivirus programs are supposed to be free and be paod for by the creator of the computer.

The anti-virus was something to sap your wallet rather than protect ur computer if this was the case.

Go to the Norton.com site and get the Home PC version.

You should be good from there. When you get the chance, get the Norton Corporate version from somebody... possibly one that's underground and put it on the computer.  These are the ones that are free.  

Answer 5

alot of people have been getting nailed by them and it is easy to do but be warned there are far worse out there. i almost got suckered by one that looked like a windows update but just before i clicked it a little light went off and i thought wait windows updates only come 2 ways and this isn't one of them

Answer 6

Hundreds, if not thousands of people fall for that.

I repair computers and a very large percentage of what I do is removing such stuff.

People see, you're computer is infected with trojans, spyware and the like, and they think its going to explode or something and they start clicking themselves right into a major headache.

Answer 7

They're called rogue antiviruses. My brother got one, and it was a real pain in the a­ss to remove.

Answer 8

Any time something pops up while I'm browsing the internet and suggests I should buy it to protect my computer, I immediately decide not to EVER use it, especially if it also tells me my computer has lots of problems.  Most of those programs are dangerous.  Decent programs don't need to rely on that kind of advertising because they are continually being recommended.

And a heads up - never use any of their buttons to close the window, not even the standard X in the top right corner.  These can be programmed to look like they only closed the window but they also install stuff on your computer.  Either, use Alt + F4  with that window active or right-click on the window icon in the taskbar and choose Close from there - both of those methods are safe.

Answer 9

THats the oldest Scam in internet, they take advantage of people "paranoia" most the people after the get the pop up the click

X and get out of it,specially when they said let us Scan your system you just open your system to them and send them invitation to get into your privacy ,,and you know  the rest..

If you paid by credit card call your credit card company and ask for your money back ,,I know some of my friend did that,,,or else call it lost and pricy experience...
