Re: threat 2 PC

Your PC is infected with malaware - many antivirus programs do not
effectively stop malaware.
Have your run Windows Defender?
SpyBot Search & Destroy, together with Adaware, are free malaware scanning
apps

You got good advice from DL. I just want to make it perfectly clear to you
that Antivirus 2008/2009 is malware. It is a rogue antimalware program; we
call it "rogue" because it pretends to be a Good Guy but is really Evil.

You can look up the removal steps here:
