right today i got a popup message from my icon tray saying:

Your computer is infected!

critical system error, system detected virus activities.

they may cause critical system failure.

Please use animalware software to clean and protect your system from parasite programs. click here to get all available softare

when i click it, it loads a web page where it does a free spyware check - detects 40 spyware programs on my computer and then tells me i need to pay $49.99 to get the software to delete them !


anyone know how i can get rid of this... obviously i aint paying the 50 dollars!

iv had spyware before but not like this

any help much appreciated
 
That sounds like spyware, dont purchase anything, if you download

Ad-aware,

spybot search and destroy

run these and they should remove any spyware installed.

Just wanted to let everyone know, I also got this !@*&^%$ malware and it is simply awful to try and get rid of. I finally found these instructions and it worked for me.

The instructions are not pefect and don't always follow what actually happens, but the end result is a PC that's cleaned of this nonsense.

I would like 10 minutes alone with the originator of this ....... :mad:

Hope that helps someone.

Irf.
