  1. try bitdefender.com and scan online its free

    or download Superantispyware

    www.superantispyware.com


  2. Instead of all these things why not install Spybot-Search&Destroy, update its definitions and run a scan on your computer. It scans for adwares, spywares and trojans and eliminates them using its secure shredder. it is a freeware and lite on the system's memory.It will remove the fake trojan from the system.

  3. Trojan.FakeAlert

    Type Malware

    Type Description Malware ("malicious software") consists of software with clearly malicious, hostile, or harmful functionality or behavior and that is used to compromise and endanger individual PCs as well as entire networks.

    Category Trojan

    Category Description Trojan is a general term for malicious software that is installed under false or deceptive pretenses or is installed without the user's full knowledge and consent. Most Trojans exhibit some form of malicious, hostile, or harmful functionality or behavior.

    Level High

    Level Description High risks are typically installed without user interaction through security exploits, and can severely compromise system security. Such risks may open illicit network connections, use polymorphic tactics to self-mutate, disable security software, modify system files, and install additional malware. These risks may also collect and transmit personally identifiable information (PII) without your consent and severely degrade the performance and stability of your computer.

    Advice Type Remove

    Description Trojan.FakeAlert consists of files that cause false warnings of spyware on the computer. Usually the alerts are displayed in a balloon type pop-up from an icon in the system tray.

    Add. Description Trojan.FakeAlert displays these false warnings when rogue security software is installed, usually by exploits, and is used to frighten the user into buying the rogue software.

  4. your computer is infected with rogue software. download and run XoftSpy SE from http://www.geeksjunction.com to check your computer for spyware and adware.

  5. I had a Trojan.Fake.Alert along time ago when I had Webroot Spysweeper and Norton Anti-Virus installed on my computer   these two programs couldn't even find the Trojan let alone remove it.  The only thing that found the Trojan was SPYWARE DOCTOR it found it and quarantined it in about 5 minutes while it was scanning.  So go out and buy Spyware Doctor.

  6. Trojan.FakeAlert is a trojan which installs via fake codecs or browser exploits. Once installed it delivers popup advertisements for useless products. These symptoms will be accompanied by the installation of a rogue application with no user prompts or action required.

    For FREE removal follow the instructions below

    including ..........updating before scanning.

  7. if i was you i would format the computers
