    Trojan infection related to fake spyware program

    I am using Windows Vista on my system and have started getting the messages as my computer is infected. And i have installed Norton Anti Virus on this system which is just not able to detect anything on it. My Internet Explorer has been affected by it and it cannot surf anything from an internet. But i am quite sure that my system have got something malicious on it due to which my browser does not works properly.

    I have got bored by getting the same complains about the viruses on windows systems. Actually fake pop ups are just to bluff you and take some bucks from your account. I have seen that this fake antivirus are keep on popping up but i suggest you to never click on it. I guess your system have got something wrong in it but it needs to solved out. I suggest you to first uninstall the browser from your system which would also be containing the virus.

    I think you need a good copy of anti virus software which helps you to clear the viruses from your system. Actually the malware and trojans have the capability to disable the security feature on an infected system which does not let your anti virus software to work properly. You can download an Avast Anti Virus which is good competitor of Norton securities. Make sure that you keep on updating this software time to time which makes it more powerful to secure your system.

    If you anti virus software does not works for removing the viruses out of your system then i think you should try the same form the Window Safe Mode which helps you to remove the viruses out of your computer safely. Restart your computer system and then keep on pressing F8 key which takes you to the Windows Booting options where you have to select for the Safe Mode with or without Networking.

    Fake anti virus pop ups come if you have visited some malicious web sites some time or you have visited some pornographic web site some time. As from these web sites, Malware comes to your system and then it keeps on showing pop ups unless you click on it. And clicking on such pop ups, Redirects your system to an infected web page from where more malicious scripts might be running in order to get access to your system. So never click on such pop ups and block those web sites from the browser.

    You should get a good internet security which secures you pc from all the types of viruses when you are surfing through an internet. Actually it happens some time that by mistake you click on some ads which redirects you to some web page where some malicious web script would be running all the time and as soon as you visit such pages, Your computer gets some malicious files on it without your permission. Since then you keep on getting such pop ups on your system.

    This kind of fake anti virus program comes from the malicious websites where this kind of scripts keeps on running. Actually if some time you have redirected to the pornographic website then it might also happen that this virus has been entered from that web site. You should always block all these web sites from the browser it self which would be acting a first security for your system then firewall will help your system and anti virus system would be coming at last.

    I have one trick by which you can get rid of this program but you need to make sure first that your anti virus program is running currently on your system with its all powers. Then you have to click on the pop ups which is annoying to you then block the web site where it takes you so that you wont be able to access the same website which is in fact malicious. Then you may remove the viruses from your system by using online security tools.
