I keep getting this antisecurity suite popup..?

Archived in the category: popup plus
Posted by Kristen Meyers on 26 Mar 09 -

It HAS to be a virus. Because its this little box that pop's up it tells me to download the security suite, because i have files on my computer that may damage my financial life or my married life. Well what's funny is that i'm 16 NOT married. Haha, so this has to be a virus or a tracking cookie. Plus, one time it popped up with a webpage that said that these porn pictures were on my computer, and it told me to download it. Well.. its even more funny, cause me or my grandparents don't go to those kind of websites. If there is ANY way i can delete this.

please tell me.

thanks!
I also have McAfee anti-virus.. and when i run it.. it doesn't pick anything up. I also have AVG Anti-Spyware, that doesn't pick anything up.. and CCleaner, none of it takes it away.

It is an adware/spyware. Suggest to download and install Spybot. It's a user-friendly FREE software I've been with. Search for it at download.com.

Get a nice antivirus. If you want to pay for one I suggest Kaspersky Internet Security. Good Luck!

What about running Antispyware applications? Give that a try because your system is in fact, infected. Spybot could be a good start. Download from here: http://windowsedge.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=296&Itemid=1

After installing Spybot Search and Destroy you need to download definitions updates before running a full scan.

Can you post a screenshot of the Pop up in question and probably a link to the page it is asking you to browse to?

Relax dude…..everyone experiences this problem
Juz go to http://www.download.com (relax, it is a very save and trusted site). Then download spybot (its about 10MB but totally worth every bit). Update it as soon as installing it. Then hit the search and destroy tab. Sit back and relax or get a drink and wait till the scan is over. I am 200% sure it will display a list of threats. Don't even stop a second to think about clearing the threats. Juz destroy all the threats and u can resume ur boring life. By the way, spyware doesnt suddenly exist in ur computer unless u download something tempting. So i guess someone in your house is up to something or u or just a jerk downloading songs in the internet…

Very useful files search engine. megaupload-download.com is a search engine designed to search files in various file sharing and uploading sites.
