Most probably, it may be a spy ware (virus). The same thing happened last week to me (but that was an "anti-virus2008"). I posted a question, like you, on yahoo!Answer then some guys gave suggestions in order to delete. According to one of the suggestion I downloaded 'SUPER anti spy ware free edition' on my system (desktop). It, perhaps, works and kills the spy ware (anti virus2008") then I rebooted my system.... but my screen went BLUISH color and without showing any icons. Its give big headache, still I'm facing. So be careful to rectify your problem.

And best of luck.

Note that: Virus protection is different from spy ware, mal ware, ad ware etc.,

Answer 6

I got the same POP-UP INVITATION the other day telling me I had an infection, and to download their program.

I DID NOT because I already knew it was a hijacking program.

Don't panic, there is a solution. This is a rogue PROBLEM PROGRAM that is all over the internet right now, by several different names.

The nasty program is classified as a "problem application" by Symantec. This culprit reports problems that do not exist in order to force you to buy their product, and it's very hard to get rid of the pesky thing:

You will need removal tools

A. Symantec instructions

B. Hijack This

C. AVAST

A. Here is Symantec a write-up:

http://www.symantec.com/security_respons...

Important: you don't need to purchase Norton, as AVAST and excellent FREE anti-virus tool and will clean any virus just fine...

so I'll give you that info below too.

Note: When follow the Symantec removal instructions, when you get to the part about disabling System Restore, make yourself a posty note to remember to ENABLE system Restore when you are finished.

=====================================

B. Also, look for the culprit program using this tool.

Use CAUTION as to what you remove.

Get free anti-hijacking tool

for any hijack problems you might encounter

1. The program is called HiJackThis 1.99

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.h...

2. Download and run the program

BE CAREFUL what you delete  

from it's findings...because

it will find the offending program

and others that you may NOT want to delete.

Only delete the one that hijacked you.

=====================================

When all is done, run AVAST

Avast free Home Edition

Get it here:

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht...

And please do a "thorough" scan as soon as you get it downloaded. The user interface is simple. Click the left side, and in the top menu that comes up, select thorough scan.

When it finds a culprit it throws up an alarm, then you DELETE the culprit, (do not quarantine).

Then allow it to run all of the time, and you will be completely protected. It will "automatically" update itself, also for free.

You only need to renew your registration once a year, also free.

Note: I know of several people who have used AVG and gotten a virus anyway.

I've tried them all, and have had wonderful results with this one for the last 5 years.
