My Mood:    |  Calling all .... Computer nerds.  It appears that my computer has a virus - what leads me to this conclusion is this incredibly annoying pop up that comes on the screen almost everytime I click on a website. It says the following: "SYSTEM ERROR! Your computer was infected by unknown trojan. It's dangerous for your system (critical files can be lost)! Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your system! (Recommended)" I have done every scan of my comp possible and it has found nothing ... N O T H I N G!!!!!  This is really starting to drive me insane and with all that has happened in the last month - the last thing I need is for my comp to shit itself.  If anyone has any ideas - PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!

My Mood:  | Re: Calling all .... Sounds like you're hitting malware/spyware issues. Hopefully not a virus. Here's some free tools you can try. This one first - TrendSecure | TrendMicro™ HijackThis™ Overview If the first doesn't work, give this a shot. It's a little more intensive, but there is a good walk through on how to use it. SmitFraudFix Best of luck. Please let me know how you make out. |

My Mood:   | Re: Calling all .... I've seen popups like that. I don't know if it'll work, but I ran this on my sis's PC and that popup disappeared, along with a couple of other annoyances.  works pretty good. just takes a damn long time.Trend Micro HouseCall - Free Online Virus and Spyware Scan - Trend Micro USA
