Answer 3

You have been infected with a nasty malware, your security soft has failed to do it's job.

First do an online scan and clean with http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html AND http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/

Now it's time to replace that miserable insecurity software that you use; download the installers for

antivirus - http://www.avast.com/

antispyware - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...

................. - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

firewall - http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

They are all the best in their category and FREE.

Unplug the internet line, uninstall the junk and install these (if

necessary in safe mode) one by one with each necessary reboot done.

Reconnect the line and update them (Spybot has it manual).

That's all.

Answer 4

It's probably a virus itself. If you don't have antivirus then download AVG. It's free and legit I promise http://free.avg.com/

It also might be spyware in which case I would go with Spy bot Search and destory http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.h...

Also free and legit. Do searches with both of those and see what comes up!

Answer 6

run ccleaner (run the cleaner and registry menus)

Answer 7

free-viruscan.com is a browser hijacker that disguises as a legitimate Windows warning message and redirects user to a Windows Explorer cloned website. It will then prompt user to download protection software.

Use Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware to remove.

This is completely free and can be seen below

Where it can be downloaded.
