Windows Security Alert

Using Vista Home Premium and Internet Explorer 7. When on the internet, I'm
getting a popup titled "Windows Security Alert." It says my computer is
infected with:

Admess.trojan
zserv.Transponder.Trojan
and others.

It wants me to download a remover from promalwarescannerv2.com.

I'm running McAfee Total Protection, but when I do a system scan it says all
is OK.

I did a system restore, but it comes back later.
What's going on? CB

Turn off Windows Restore, scan.
If that doesn't work - reformat.

Hello

Do you see these popup every time browsing the web?.
If yes, you are probably infected with malware (ex. browser hijacker).

Re: Windows Security Alert

Your computer is infected with malware. McAfee, like most of the security
suites, is not effective against many infections. Download and run both of
the following programs (free versions).

Malwarebytes http://malwarebytes.org/
Superantispyware http://www.superantispyware.com/

I recommend also installing SpywareBlaster which will give you additional
ongoing protection.

I like seeing those ads made to look like a Windows XP error - when I'm
using the Mac.

Re: Windows Security Alert

Start Internet Explorer in Safe Mode. See if the pop-up returns. If it is
gone, it is a Spyware Add-Onn wich you can easily disable/delete.

Re: Windows Security Alert

I found all of the places that this was hiding and deleted them all, that seem to have taken care of that.
