Computer help

Okay today something popped up that my sister said was a antivirus program,and thought it was mine wanting to do a scan,so she did,but it wasn't my antivirus program,and now whenever i try to log onto any sites,I get a big window that pops up with two buttons saying that I either continue unprotected or get the software. I am on my laptop now because I can't get anywhere on my desktop. Every site i try to go to I get this stupid window,and I can't seem to fins it anywhere on my computer to see if I can remove it. Help!!

Maybe you could try a system restore - restore it to a date earlier than when your sister accepted that program?

Sounds a little like it,but the one that is giving me problems is called Personal Antivirus. Maybe I will try this anyway,and see if it works for me. Thanks for link! smile

You've got a virus. I eradicated the same thing for a friend a few months ago. Google the name of the antivirus that pops up. You should be able to find instructions to get rid of it.

See if this will work if your using Windows, Vista or XP? Do both of the below and start with:

Malyware Anti-Malware
http://download.cnet.com/...04572.html


&


Windows One Care
http://onecare.live.com/s...efault.htm

For the Windows click the Full Service Scan. If you are using Vista you'll have to use the NEW beta scan up above on that page. Also I'm sure your virus protection has been turned off by the fake anti-virus software, turn your virus protection back on. Control Panel > Security Center
