I have a several pop-ups that have suddenly appeared and I have no idea how to get rid because I know that if you don't really know what you are doing, you can make matters worse.
My internet history shows 3 sites: bestsecureexpertcleaner; personalantispy.com; pcvirusremover2008.com
Also, there is video file video1162.cfg.exe which keeps asking for access.
I read a similar thread on here (but there was no conclusion) and you asked for a Kaspersky scan which I have done: (Please note, I did go ahead and delete those files from my Limewire).
