Whenever the "fake warning" comes up AVG tells me it is a threat and moves it to the vault, but that doesn’t fix the problem. It comes up again and I have to put it in the vault once more. Now I am getting pop-ups and the fake alert still comes up. I ran a full scan, and it didn’t find anything. How can I remove it permanently without reformatting my computer.

What’s Trojan.FakeAlert?
Trojan.FakeAlert Threat Level:
Trojan.FakeAlert is a Trojan that may install rogue anti-spyware onto your computer. Trojan.FakeAlert may also manipulate your system’s registry keys and install fake spyware files to create false positives when your computer is scanned by these rogue anti-spyware programs. Trojan.FakeAlert installs this fake spyware so that you may be tricked into buying rogue anti-spyware programs. Trojan.FakeAlert may be remotely controlled by an anonymous attacker, and may update and repair itself, making it difficult to manually remove. Trojan.FakeAlert may install itself onto your PC without your permission.
Do I Have Trojan.FakeAlert?
You can search your computer manually, but it might take hours to find Trojan.FakeAlert’s hidden files. To save time, I recommend you automatically scan your PC for Trojan.FakeAlert and other spyware. Why not? It’s free.

Note: In any files I mention above, “%System%” is a variable referring to your PC’s System folder. Maybe you renamed it, but by default your System folder is “C:\Windows\System32″ on Windows XP, “C:\Winnt\System32″ on Windows NT/2000,” or “C:\Windows\System” on Windows 95/98/Me.
“%Program_Files%”, “%ProgramFiles%”, or “%Profile%” is a variable referring to a folder in your PC where applications that aren’t a part of your PC’s operating system are installed by default. You may have changed this folder’s name or moved it, but if you didn’t touch it, find the folder as “C:\Program Files”. If you’re having trouble finding this folder, you can locate it by looking up registry value “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir”.
Also, “%UserProfile%” is a variable referring to your current user’s profile folder. If you’re using Windows NT/2000/XP, by default this is “C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENT USER]” (e.g., “C:\Documents and Settings\JoeSmith”).
Trojan.FakeAlert changed your homepage?
Click Windows Start menu > Control Panel > Internet Options. Next, under Home Page, select the General > Use Default. Type in the URL you want as your home page (e.g., “http://www.homepage.com”). Then select Apply > OK. You’ll want to open a fresh web page and make sure that your new default home page pops up.
Recommendation:
To save time and avoid risking destroying your computer, I highly recommend you use a spyware scanner, such as SpyHunter, to detect Trojan.FakeAlert and other spyware, adware, trojans, viruses, keyloggers, and more that can be hidden in your PC. It’s also recommended before you manually remove Trojan.FakeAlert you backup your system.

I had this problem and had started to pull my hair out!
To be honest I dont know a lot about computers but I also did the full scan bit and tried to delete it in the prgrammes section (but it was not there)
What I ended up doing is everytime the block up window came up just pressed the X on the top right hand side.
After a week or so it just disappered and has never made a recurrance.
Just a tip for you though, if you think that a virus/trojen etc is starting to download just pull the internet lead out straight away it stops anything that you might think is dodgy getting through.
i actually just had this problem last week….i down loaded avg and ran it…i had fake alert and trojan eating my computer….what you have to do is this…………..turn off your computer…..turn off your modem so your not connected to the internet……………..turn your computer on..press what ever f key during start up that allows you to pick "run your computer in safe mode………..now that your in safe mode and not connected to the internet run a full scan with avg, everything infected will go into the vault……….when done restart your computer turn your modem back on…..make sure your not in safe mode anymore….and that should work……..it helped mine…..although its not perfect, but you cant do it when connected to the internet
