Windows could never be that vague about something, its an obvious virus.

One balloon pop'd up when it happened to me. It said:
You have spyware on our system. Download this software to get rid of it.

Then I downloaded it, thinking it was a microsoft program, but then it asked for $50 to buy it.

This happened to me. Now i use Firefox and nothing happens. Also, check for IExplorer.exe on start up in task manager. You might have two of them running without you knowing.

Look at all the goodies im getting

Ok Im leaning towards the system repair.
Should I really do it?

Hahah, You're so forgeted that you might as well sit back and laugh, then get your XP install disks out.

Its probably not that bad though, but i'd just reinstall instead of wasting my time trying to fix that.

I think that security panel thing is fake.
I dunno.
forget

Everything works fine but these loving things
What the point of them coming on my computer.
Cant they just look around and take whatevers there then leave.
I have nothing of value on my computer.

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh.

On a more serious note, try System Restore and see what it does.

It may or may not fix it, but it's worth trying.

Wow, whats that line from.

n0cturni · January 09, 2009, 07:50:17 PM

I don't remember.

Burger · January 09, 2009, 07:52:14 PM

I had the same thing. This is how I got rid of it:
Go to task manager. Open processes tab. Find "~tpc<letter>". Now right click and open containing folder. everything in that folder except obvious good things. Make sure you delete "a" and "b" and all the "~tpc<letter>"'s. Then it will go bye bye.

Bustos · January 09, 2009, 07:57:19 PM

That files not there.
Thanks though.

K Im gonna jump.
Guess we shall see what happens.

Burger · January 09, 2009, 08:02:23 PM

Well, look in your processes and see if there is anything weird in there. :/
