• AntiVirus program as a virus?
    4 replies, posted
Sloppy title... So I just got home from work, and noticed that my girlfriend was doing something on the PC. I checked what she was doind noticed these 2 icons at the bottom. [img]http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8964/screenhunter01nov271305.gif[/img] I asked what they were and she said that while browsing her site, some kind of a message popped up and said 'You have an x amount of viruses on your computer'. Now knowing my girlfriend doesn't know much about PC's, she accepted the installation of a fake antivirus program. :doh: You know, the ones that trick you into buying an anti virus? and scare you saying You have 512312313213 viruses on your PC, CLICK HERE TO BUY AN A NEW ANTIVIRUS FULL PROTECTION blah blah This window pops up when I click the [b]blue[/b] shield. [img]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/9052/screenhunter02nov271306.gif[/img] Now I know those aren't real, since I had the same thing on my old PC, and it said that I have 42 viruses there too. And when I click the red shield. [img]http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1092/screenhunter03nov271306.gif[/img] I checked for viruses on a different antivirus, the one I was using all this time. and it said that I have none. Anyone knows a way to delete those two programs? I tried Google, but I'm not sure what to search for. And these annoying messages pop up whenever I try to play games, the ones that pop up and exit the game automatically. :argh: Any help would be appreciated.
