Trojan Virus, key loggers

[Jack Ryan]

Any one else getting security alerts from virus software while they are logged on here?

 

[Farmritch]

Nope

 

[Bigum1969]

Not me.

 

[jclark]

no.

 

[SC_Shooter]

Nothing here, but I have been watching the ones you have been getting.

j/k...stop thinking what you are thinking!!!

Do you want to give us a little more info? Maybe some logs or screen shots?

 

[mammynun]

nope, but you shouldn't click on anything in the pop up window; that will often give you the virus/spyware/malware that you don't want. Close it with task manager.

 

[indykid]

nope

 

[pudly]

What security software are you using?

 

[lawrra]

Are you getting alerts at any other site? There is some malware out there that looks like a anti-virus program, and it's obnoxious. I'll second the request for screen shots.

 

[IndyGunworks]

i was getting them for a while... then i switched to moxilla firefox and they are no more

It's annoying to the n'th degree. I will say, however, that it's amuzing when my Norton catches the faux Norton.

Nope not here.

Nope

I can't figure it out.

A yellow shield "updates ready to install"
Another four colored shield says Windows Security Alerts
Another four colored shield says AntiMalware
and then every couple minutes a pop up comes up with some kind of virus warning and asks if I want protection enabled.
Doesn't seem to matter if I say yes, no, or maybe or anything else.

Doing some kind of anti malware install I can't seem to stop

 

[Scutter01]

You're already infected.

 

[JustGone]

Sounds like pop ups that emulate security software..don't click on them. Run a complete scan of your computer with YOUR anti-virus and anti-spyware malware programs

Didn't see your second post there- Ya your infected already

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

that sure sounds like fake anti-malware that's the product of a trojan or something.

What worked for me was getting Avast! Just google it. I turned off Norton and all of the other cruft and just installed Avast!. It ran through a scan - found a few things. Then I use either Google Chrome or Firefox for a browser and voila... problem gone.

Good luck with it
