Virus?

[KoopaScooper]

OK, I haven't installed anything recently, and all-of-the-sudden, my computer stops responding, and something comes up saying "SYSTEM has stopped responding". It looks like Windows and everything, but when I click the X, a pop-up comes up leading to a rogue anti-virus software.

AVG has done everything but it gets back onto the system every 5 minutes.

Wtf should I do?

EDIT
The pop-up links to some download for "SpySheriff". I know for a fact that it's rogue, because of it's reputation on Google.

What's the name of the fake Anti-Virus?

It's probably that fake one that was posted here a while ago...

Try doing a full scan, I used Avast when I had my computer. It worked fine for stuff like that. Now I use my PS3 :D

Ahahaha.
Last time I tried port-forwarding, I opened my ports instead of properly forwarding them.
Reversing what I did fixed it.
