I'm on my works computer and suddenly all these pop ups are coming up saying there is a breach and that spyware is getting in etc
I have AVG do a scan daily and it didn't find anything this morning but now the 'Vista Internet Security' is an unregistered version???? I have both malwarebytes and AVG running a second scan.
Please, if anyone knows how to stop this it would be great!!!!

Won't let me use firefox either, came up saying that one is infected with a trojan, but neither malwarebytes or AVG have found anything wrong with them:idea: Jan 09.

have you updated both programs before running the scans?
are you running the deep scans and not just the quick scans?
dont knwo anything about AOL browser sorry
other one would be to get a 'online' scan running, trendmacro do one i believe called housecall http://housecall.trendmicro.com/Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

Hi bevan
If you have access to another computer download portable Superantispyware to a USB memory stick and then run it on the infected computer.

I've just found this on internet

in case anyone else comes across it, luckily I might not need the other computer it says you need as aol seems to be the only program that works (how or why I don't know):idea: Jan 09.

I don't have access to another PC right now, earliest I'll have access will be if my DH's laptop hasn't been infected, but I think it might be. The only 'browser' that works is aol, do u think i will be ok downloading from this one?:idea: Jan 09.
