i've uploaded these images for you to see. these warnings keep popping up on my window whenever i'm surfing the net. i've observed that it pops up everytime a website/webpage sucessfully loads. i dunno if it's a virus or an adware or something. the messages don't seem to make any point, but just as the same i've tried scanning my pc for viruses but it didn't find anything on my pc.
![]() these are just some of the messages that keep popping up. but they contain almost all of the same messages, except for the website that it wants me to check out. grr... i'll be doing another scan again so i'll check in a few. |

Well i think its a company trying to get you to use there software so obviously its either the sites sending it to u or its on your computer. Or it could be real from microsoft but i doubt that

It's malware. The large capital letters and site references give it away. Follow these malware removal steps according to besttechie to remove it.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. ![]() Group: [MODERATOR] Posts: 4,071 Joined: 24-July 05 From: Linix, DOS and Windows…the good, the bad and the ugly Member No.: 9,787 ![]() |
Nice Link. Looks like a good suggestion for the member to follow the recommendations given there. Hope it helps.
Also, be sure to use the Spybot Updates regularly. There are new threats added to the lists often, so allow the spybot program to check for Updates before you run it. |

i've ran a scan using ad-aware se personal. it didn't detect anything so i was thinking maybe the computer was fine. i had my brother use the pc afterwards and told him that if the same warning pops up, he should tell me. for a moment i thought it was the firefox browser because when my brother connected to the internet, he didn't get the warning at all because he was using internet explorer. but now i'm using ie, it still pops up.
so yeah, i'll check on that link now. and thanks for the help. i'll update you about the progress later. |

i've tried doing both scans on spybot and ad-aware. and so far, i'm not getting any more of the warning. i'm keeping my fingers crossed though. even though i've ran 2 scans, just to make sure...
wait... i just got the warning again... grr... this is bad. be right back. |

Lol good luck on trying to remove the malware, if that doesn't help you remove the malware, try searching some info about how to on Google. I'm sure there's loads of sites that have information about it.
And, think about what you did before you got the thing popping up, what did you download, what sites did you go to? Think about those, it always helps me. |

sorry bout the previous message. kinda experienced some glitch with the add reply button.
anyway, i've read the tutorial again, but there's one thing i'm quite unsure of doing. and that's using the hijackthis application. i'm not even sure if that's safe to use. i've ran the scan on both spybot and adaware but the warning still pops up. geez. help! |
