Removal of Internet Antivirus Pro windows that continue popping up

Two events started simulatenously on my home pc: 1st, received the 'Internet
Antivirus Pro' message indicating my system was in danger of malicious
software damaging my computer and to click here to clean pc. Clicking out of
message takes me to a new window requiring we enter registration key...none
of which work. Close the boxes, they return and repeat the same cycle. The
2nd box popping up is a Windows Internet Security box.Cannot remove the
boxes, cannot move past the boxes, cannot log into internet to download any
removal tools or do anything else. Each time I reboot the boxes return and
repeat. Is there anything I can do aside from chucking my pc, to get around
these messages and
to the internet to download and run a removal program?

Re: Removal of Internet Antivirus Pro windows that continue popping up

Probably not in a .NET programming discussion group, but you can find an
appropriate Windows group this way.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

In the tree on the left, first open the English category, then open Windows.
In Windows, find and open the category for your version of Windows.
There, you'll find a group to post your question.

Given your description, it's likely you've been infested with some sort of
malware. In addition to Cor's suggestion, you need to find anti-virus
anti-malware forums as a source of guidance. Since you've posted your
problem here, I assume you are using a second computer to access the web.
Try a Google search for like anti-virus forums or anti-malware forums for
the best places to get advice on how to get rid of the problem.
