help with pc pop-up please

Options
Everytime I turn on the internet it comes up with:

Insecure Internet activity. Threat of virus attack
Due to insecure Internet browsing your PC can easily get infected with viruses, worms and trojans without your knowledge, and that can lead to system slowdown, freezes and crashes.
Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information.
To get full advanced real-time protection for PC and Internet activity, register your antivirus software.
We recommend you to protect your PC now and continue safe Internet browsing.
Click here to get full advanced real-time protection and continue browsing.
Continue to this website unprotected (not recommended).

I also get this pop-up every 20 mins.

Security Centre Alert
To help protect your computer, windows firewall has blocked some features of this program.
Do you want to block this suspicious software?

Name: Win32.Zafi.B
Risk level: High
Description: Zafi.B is a worm trojan program that records keystrokes and takes screen shots of the computer, stealing personal financial information.

Keep Blocking (cant press)
unblock (cant press)
enable protection (will let me press this button)

Both of these when clicked on takes me to a website: http://www.defender-reviews.com/?a=112&b=4748554E543139352D4435303439447A7187F0&so=01
they are offering a free spyware programme called perfect defender 2009, which when I googled it came up as a virus.

My question is how do I stop the pop-up & the annoying alert message?

I have installed mozilla firefox, norton security scan & avast, yet it is still there.

Thankyou & sorry for the long post

  • I would download the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware , thats helped me out with a couple of PC's of late, with issues that the older tools weren't able to fix
    www.malwarebytes.org
    download it , update it, then do a full scan

    And if that doesn't work, I'd try a scan with SuperAntiSpyware.

    You have Norton AND avast running?
    Uninstall one of them at least!

    After youve run the advice above ~
    Download HIJACK THIS (Top right)
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    SCAN and post the log so we can see whats running
    :idea:
  • Hi & thanks for the help.
    I have deleted norton & added the above 3 programmes. The 1st two are running at the moment, as soon as they have finished I will do the hijackthis & show you the log.
    Thankyou

    Its never wise to run 2 scanning programs at the same time. The hard drive head is working overtime to shoot between both scans and the overall time to scan is lengthened
    :idea:
  • Sorry I should have been more clearer, I have both programmes loaded but only 1 running the other is paused until the 1st has finished.
    Thankyou

    Make sure you have an up-to-date anti-virus program installed (Avast perhaps); SpyBot is also excellent:)

  • Since doing the scans & removing infected things, my fingerprint recognition on my thinkpad is not working. It is still showing on my pc just not registering any fingerprints, should I just re add them.
    Thanks
