From: "Brohdaw" <Brohdaw@xxxxxx>
| I continually receive a red, white, and grey alert window ---
| Alert details: File - C:\WINDOWS\wml.exe
| Threat: Abebot
| "Possible Spyware infection has been detected on your computer by Security
| System."
| "To remove detected threat you need to update our PC-Antispyware protection."
| "Click here to visit PC-Antispyware website"(link)
| ----- takes me to
http://antispyware-reviews.biz/?wmid...mid=R3n1c2Bg8A
|
| These boxes show up next, unshaded and "unclickable"
| Clean, Rename, & Delete
|
| Then another link
| Update PC-Antispyware protection and remove detected threats
| -----take me to same:
|
http://antispyware-reviews.biz/?wmid...mid=R3n1c2Bg8A
|
| --------------
| Additionally, in the lower right hand corner I have a triangle icon states
| which automatically populates a message: "Your computer is infected with
| sypware! Windows has detected spyware infection on your PC. It is
| recommended that you update your antispyware protection to prevent data loss.
| Click here to download and
| install the most up-to-date antispyware for you. Click here for more
| information."
|
| When I click on this...it brings the red, grey, and white window as
| described above.
| Then same thing all over again.
|
| My problem is, I do not know if this is legit or not; I have AVG and I ran
| that, and
| these messages continute to show up. There for I tried Ad-Adware (which I
| hear mixed opinions about), and rogue remover --- none of these removed the
| problem. I also ran my anti-virus system (CA)-which is always on. As a
| result, I think this is some type of 'gimmick' attached to my computer
| somehow.
|
| Also receiving...

| now I wanted to submit for help!
