i keep getting pop ups to buy anti-virus, spyware, healing, etc…
when i was on the internet the other day, i got a few pop ups from vista antivrus. It started scanning my computer and said i has 67 threats found on my computer. is this real, or is it a scam.. it says i have to buy the antivirus software if i want to get rid of the threats. Can someone please help me. i need to know what to do.
Okay so that Antivirus software somehow got on my computer and it keeps giving me pop ups saying that I have viruses on my computer. Which I know is just a gimmick so I’ll buy the software. I looked up online how to get rid of it. The only problem is the program I need to download to get rid of the antivirus software is on the internet which I can’t get to because the virus blocks me from going online. So does anyone know how I can get rid of this software without going online? Or does anyone know how I can get through it so I can get onto the internet?
What are some tune-up and virus removal software for PC service techs?
PC service technicians often advertise computer tune-ups and virus removal services to their clients, but what software is used for that? Is it legal to use the software in that manner? Or do they just use free software utilities?

How about effective tune-up utilities?

I got some source here on how to remove VH, after I tried a few spyware remove programs, Superantispyware finally stop the annoying fake system alert and pop-ups. But when I scan my computer it still found some spywares, I killed them and they comes out again next time when I scan it. How can I completely remove and clean up all these spyware?
I have some malicious program in my computer. Here’s what it does:
1. Changes my IE homepage.
2. Adds tab popups to my firefox browser.
3. Prevents me from opening my task manager claiming saying I’m not the Administrator.
4. Prevents me from printing pages from the internet.
5. Adds a tool bar to my IE
6. Adds a ton of pop ups showing fake antispyware sites. Certain pop ups resemble a Windows alert pop up.
7. Gives a flash "X" icon on my desktop
I tried my anti-spyware programs and I’m convinced that I should do a system restore or manually remove the trojan.
What should I do and how do I do
The Malware could be the Vundo trojan.
my computer comes up with errors that link to spyware “buy me to protect” sites. how do i stop this?
i also keep finding trojan viruses on my comp. im using avg for viruses and spybot - search and destroy for spyware and adware. every couple of weeks trojan horse virus comes back, but the links to virus control sites is a new one today
it is set to block pop ups. however i use mozilla but in IE theres a security toolbar that is in all the pop ups
I’m getting one of those annoying pop ups that looks like windows firewall telling me that I have a virus. When I click fix, it sends me to a webpage to buy antivirus software but from some unknown company. I’ve ran mcafee after updating it, and it finds nothing.
Also, when the popup came up, i went to task manager and selected the task, then selected "go to process" and it was fcluavg.exe. I did a search on that with no hits. I then selected "show file location" and it was in a folder in my %appdata folder but it wouldn’t let me delete it.
Do I need to get a different antivirus program?
Okay, I accidently downloaded a file and pop-ups for anti-virus systems started showing. I did a norton anti-virus scan and nothing showed up. I did many, many spyware scans on zonealarm and yes, it deleted many spywares, but it didn’t stop the pop-ups. I even bought the Guardian anti-spyware system and although it deleted about 16 spywares, the pop-ups still keep coming. I did about 7 more scans and it still didn’t ceased.
I need some advice on how to stop the evil threat!
it has pop ups and it was donloaded from a website
I’ve tried removing it and i removed it from my toolbar and it stopped most pop ups but it still ocassionally comes back. I am not wiling to buy software. Anyone know what file(s) to delete so i can get this out of my computer.
also, malwarebytes wont open on my computer when i download it and i know thats a big help
Everytime i get on the internet i get a pop-up that says something like "warning your computer is infected..please click ok for a free online scan". I also get tons of other pop-ups. I’ve downloaded numerous software & tried all kinds of scans but none of them are completely getting rid of the virus. Some of the scans I run always find something called a trojan.agent & trojan virtimode….whatever they are…but they never delete them. Please help!
i got this spyware thing recently. at random moments, it will have pop ups and it is a custom notification on my toolbar on my desktop. its always flashing, tellin me i have a virus/spyware, when really, the virus/spyware i have is that notification thing. the pop ups tell me to buy their anti virus programs.
dont tell me to download antivirus/spyware remover software. thats one of the problems…
i already had norton antivirus, it has always worked, its up to date and renewed, its fine, its norton’s best program but when i do full system scans with it, it says i have NO viruses/spyware when i obviously do because of the pop ups and notifications.
so…i download some other trustworthy scans and anti virus programs and they are the same thing! they tell me i have no viruses or spyware or threats. the two programs i downloaded are AVG and Lavasoft.
tell me how to get rid of this virus or spyware i have. but DONT TELL ME TO DOWNLOAD ANOTHER ANTIVIRUS/VIRUS SCAN PROGRAM.
i have asked this question be4 but the only thing ppl tell me are "oh, download this program and use this, its better" ive tried 3 programs already and they all say i have no virus.
but i do! i get pop ups becuz of this notification bar.
how do i get rid of these pop ups and notification button. dont tell me to geta pop up blocker or anythign becuz i have tried 4 of those too. and i have a program that blocks spyware.
nothing works!
I need a good reliable virus scanner and remover and possibly a pop up blocker for my laptop does anyone know of any?
Im not sure if the pop ups are linked with the viruses but its always the same pop ups.
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.
It keeps popping up fake vulnerability pop ups every now and than. I installed AVG free and tried to work on it, it did remove some Trojans and spywares but these fake pop ups which say " remote PC trying to connect" or the s/w found 18 vulnerabilities keep annoying me. Help!I m using windows vista ultimate
I have this Anti-Virus&Spyware that pop-ups and said it has found a virus. I search and know that it is indeed the infection. help me remove it.

Well when I got this computer, it came with a 90 day trial of Norton Internet Security+Anti-Virus, and after it expired I got Norton 360 All-In-One. I had to uninstall the old Norton to install the new one, so I did. Then when i turned on my computer at the task tray (or whatever it’s called, the icons at the bottom right.) There was a flashing red circle w/ a X in the middle and it said "System Alert". My background was overlapped by a big red toxic sign and under that "YOUR PRIVACY IS IN DANGER!". A lot of pop-ups kept coming up saying "System Alert" "Worm was detected on your computer, click yes to delete this worm now.", "Windows Security Alert" "Windows has detected an Internet attack attempt… Somebody’s trying to infect your PC with spyware or harmful viruses. Run full system scan now to protect your PC from Internet attacks, hijacking attempts and spyware! Click here to download spyware remover for total protection.", and when I open up Internet Explorer, the home page is an ad telling me to buy a spyware remover. Even when I change the homepage, it changes back whenever I open Internet Explorer. I installed Norton 360 All-In-One and ran virus scans and things, but they didn’t detect anything. Should I get a different anti-virus program? Thanks for the help =]
IF I restore my computer to the factory settings with the recovery disk that came with the system, will it remove 100% of bad stuff(pop ups, virus)
