man im sick of this i keep getting an error popping up every minute when im on the internet.. i scanned my system and everything is fine. I think its some kind of adware because it states this system error! your computer was infected by an unknown trojan. It's dangerous for your system (critical files can be lost) Click ok to download the antispyware program to clean your system (recommended) If i click ok nothing happens and it just does it again. over and over again. However this only happens on my user but when i go on my parents user it doesnt pop up.. just any thoughts to what it would be would be greatly appreciated because im stumped.
Don't click okay. You've probably got some adware that is causing that message to pop up, clicking on it will not help. If your antivirus program isn't picking it up, try http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ It's an online virus/adware scanner. Alternatively you could try something like Ad-aware. I would run HiJackThis. HijackThis lists the contents of key areas of the Registry and hard drive.. The program is continually updated to detect and remove new hijacks. It does not target specific programs and URLs, only the methods used by hijackers to force you onto their sites, such as "YOU HAVE VIRUS LOLLIGANS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEND YOU TO A SITE TO DOWLOAD ANTIVIRUS POGRAME" It should detect what has infected your computer, and it's pretty fast. You can then look on the internet to find ways to remove it. I wouldn't use hijackthis to remove it, because that might not get rid of the whole problem. And double check to make sure you're removing the right thing.
I got that too a long ago. You must disable some startup processes and search for the process name on google and learn how to remove the adware. Good luck!
i had exaaaaact same thing as you on my old pc...i tried ad-aware and couldnt get rid of it either...i tried actually alot of anti virus and couldnt get rid of it so i started using online anti-virus scanners and one of them got rid of it im not exactly sure when i ran my norton it didnt find anything either
the thing that's is telling you that you have a virus is a virus it self, and its going to take you to download another virus this is when you have to download something like microsoft antispyware, something that's REPUTABLE to get rid of that message
