Looks more like a fake page saying you have viruses and asking you to download a program full of viruses, so don't download that program. It was happening to me about 4 months ago, I believe. My MySpace and Facebook homepage tabs kept redirecting all of the sudden to a "free" AVG scanner, which said my computer was infected with a lot of viruses when it actually wasn't.
dont install it, whatever you do. Believe me when I say it would be a very very bad idea to install that. It's just as everyone says, it's basically just a virus disguising itself as a protection software. Basically a trojan horse
If by "free" you mean illegal then NO This To be honest the best thing you can do is get a good virus scan despite costs and run a full scan every week.
A'ight, that's definitely a virus. Sometimes they're a lost cause, other times they're curable. Here's what I recommend: 1. Restart your computer. As it's booting back up, tap the F8 key. It will bring up a list of advanced startup options. 2. Choose Safe Mode with Networking. 3. Log into your usual account. Safe mode will look a little wonky (no desktop background, odd resolution, etc.); it's normal. 3.5: At this point, as long as the virus hasn't screwed up your safe mode yet, you can download the virus protection software of your choice and run a scan if you like. I used AVG for a while but got viruses regardless; I have Microsoft Security Essentials now and haven't gotten anything yet. Otherwise, the instruction below is for a system restore which cured my last computer of these sorts of viruses without anything else a few times. At this point, it may not work for you, but just in case: 4. Open the Start Menu and search 'System Restore'. Open the program and follow the instructions. If you're lucky, your computer should have a pretty long list of restore points you can choose from; pick one from a time you're sure you did not have the virus yet. The computer will reboot; once it does, log in and see if you're clear. That's the best advice I can give to help, I'm not an expert so I'm sure it's not perfect. If you decide to try it though, let us know how it goes x:
System Restore would do it, this will too, and prevent the problem in the future. 1. Install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. 2. Run a Full Scan with it, it'll probably take a while, but let it go. Have it remove whatever it finds once it's done. 3. That should get rid of the notifications. 4. Leave Malwarebytes installed, and run a scan with it every so often. 5. Install an anti-virus to keep running at all times, and set it on a scan schedule. I'd recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, it's free and works like a charm. 6. Run a scan using your anti-virus for good measure.
I have Norton It's pretty costly but it keeps both my laptop and desktop safe from stuff like that <)
This is exactly what i done when i had a similar virus. I recommend you use this method :D Here is a guide if you can't do it - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-win-7-antispyware-2012
You're going to have to be more specific. x: What isn't working? Microsoft Security Essentials? The Malwarebytes scan? System Restore?
Have you tried system restore? In turning back the computer to before it came? If the antivirus/malware removal isn't working, you will most likely have to format.
