No matter what I try, anytime I use the IE browser I get a Windows Security Centre Alert popup. I have tried to turn off the Firewall, still same. It seem that the Pop up is embedded somewhere? I am using Windows Professional XP. The alert is as below:


Can anyone assist me?
Thank you

Spyware: a malware that transmits to third parties your
confidential data (email, passwords, credit card
number...) on the Internet.




Try a revolutionary solution:
SWS AntiSpyware 2007
is an efficient tool that fights against malwares and that has been designed for the Windows platform.

Anti-Spyware
neutralizes spyware
Anti-Trojan
deletes Trojans
Anti-Adware
eliminates adware
Anti-popup
gets rid of all pop-ups



Security alert

SPAM, ad pop-ups, LOSS OF SPEED, bugs, crashes…
Spyware has probably invaded your computer and is slowing it down!



Your anti-virus does not protect your computer
against this kind of threat.
If you do not install an anti-spyware now, Windows is going to be stopped to prevent all damage to your computer.

It may be an idea for you do post a hijackthis log in the part of the forum that deals with them.

Hello again:
It doesn't seem like anyone is interested in the HijackThis log that I sent to the other forum, so, I'm still open to suggestions on how to delete or get rid of the popups that continually show up, like the one I used above. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you
Ron

Give it a couple more days. You have to understand that only the designated 'Spyware Mods' can help you with HJT logs and there are only a few here, so are usually pretty busy. I'm sure one of them will get round to your log soon.

In the meantime try running through the recommended steps here:

If anything is found and removed by any of the scans you run as a result of following the above then add a new HJT log to your existing thread in the HJT section :)
