i have another fake antivirus software that downloaded its self on my computer and i have had enough of this shit!
it's called Windows Security Alert. Shortly after it was put on I try to go to task manager and it says that the admin disbled it or someshit. Then pissed off i go to my desktop... guess what i find, internet links to youporn, and pornhub, then three applications called spam1 spam2 and spam3. you guys know anything about this thing?
Format your hard drive and reinstall Windows, then in the future don't be a dumbass and click links for free whatever-the-hell. Also, run anti-virus and anti-malware in the future.
Stop slapping your wang to girls taking crotch-monsters in the ass and stuff like that won't happen.
Also, keep Windows up to date, run a security suite (antivirus, antimalware, antispam ect.). And also use Firefox with Adblock Plus (this little honey gets rid of those nasty ads on webpages that can sometimes be malicious). Doing all that will keep you pretty much secure from most threats.
Format, and then install Avast 5.

Never heard of that OS. Is it new?
Start in safe mode, run any legit anti-virus/malware/anything you have. If you don't have any, install some like spybot search and destory, and avg at the very least. If that doesn't work then maybe someone else can give better advice. If nothing works you may have to reinstall.

Avast is an antivirus

Rated Informative.
OP, Viruses are a complete bitch to get rid of. You could spend an entire week booting into safe mode and running various tools, though you should just reinstall Windows. It takes a few hours, though when you're done you have a setup that's even faster than before you had the virus.
Yeah, it's called a porn virus. Guess how you avoid getting them?

I had the same problem long time ago
I just did a regular virus scan and it's gone

I guess I suck at conveying sarcasm. I guess it was unneded. I should stop being a dick.

And stop using "I" so god damn much.
I cleaned up an XP machine today using a combination of Spyboy S&D Portable, Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware 2009 Portable, ClamWin Portable, and a LiveCD called Dr.Web AntiVirus.
Dr.Web and Malwarebytes were the most effective tools.

I watch said media from time to time and seem to be pretty free of virus'/malware.
Get [url=www.kasperskylabs.com]Kaspersky Internet Security[/url]
I fucking love it. Never had a virus in my life, not even from encyclopediadramatica. Comes with a firewall, a proxy, and tons of other awesome features.

got to agree. I had 2 USBs full of games from school, and I put them in the USB slots, almost 1 second after sticking each in, I got popus from KIS saying
[B][highlight]WARNING THESE DISK DRIVES CONTAIN VIRUSES WOULD YOU LIKE TO REMOVE VIRUS AND DESTROY FILES OR REMOVE VIRUS AND REPAIR DAMAGED FILES? [/highlight][/B]
5 minutes later, I was fine.
Common sense > realtime scanning.
I get by with Clamwin set to automatically scan anything I download, and virustotal/similar sites for anything really suspicious.
These kind of viruses usually install themselves in appdata folder and are in general really easy to remove in safemode.

kaspersky is terrible
why would you pay for a "shop common" AV when you could get one of the multitude of free ones that are much better
I really don't know who's more to blame for this, shops for advertising inferior AVs as the best thing since sliced bread, or consumers for not doing better research

This should remove any rogue antivirus programs that install on your computer.

Enjoying false positives? even the stuff that Kaspersky misses?
As slightly intrusive as it was, Comodo Internet Security worked wonders.

How good is it's AV? I've only used it's firewall.
Guys, the OP didn't get this from porn, my friend had the same problem, and I know for a fact that he would never look at porn. Probably just Internet explorer's hole was exploited from a website putting every word on the english language on his website along with a virus.
You can get this kind of shit anywhere, from sites that got their ads infected with malicious software.

I've been doing my own personal testing for years, and the latest versions of Kaspersky have been absolutely perfect in terms of protection, even with 0-day malware.
This is due to its HIPS module, which prevents the modification of important registry keys and system files even if the AV can't detect it. Comodo, Kaspersky and Norton have been the only AVs I've tested that have given prevented all the threats I've thrown at it.

I think I might make a thread about it.

A porn virus? That's not necessarily how you get these types of viruses. If it's like antispyware soft, it can be put in place by a trojan. The trick to getting rid of a .exe like that is to open up your task manager and turn it off manually. Just make absolutely sure you don't delete the wrong .exe, I know there's a site to check for that, I found it on a search engine so it can't be too hard to find.
If you can't use the task manager, which sounds a lot like antispyware soft, I would reinstall windows, or reformat.

Pornhub has been shat due to the viruses that pop-up there, if your going to watch porn go on redtube.
