vole Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 In think you need to get your antivirus on the case before long.I had Bugbear virus shifted eventually but only by a paid for version of Spysweeper.Good luck.Google tells me its a "worm" that spreads via email.

barrowboy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Have had this myself ,it's nothing more than a scam . Tells you that you have a virus ,click here to check for others then comes up with a great list .Then the big one comes PURCHASE click here . which then cost you a shed load . If you have not been daft enough to purchase ,make sure you go into add or remove programmes and remove any trace of it or it will keep telling you there is something wrong .And strange things start happening. Has I've said just make sure you delete all traces of the programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myuserid Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The only way to remove that sort of thing is to do a full format and and re-install, otherwise you never know what they have planted. Could be a keystroke bug which can then find out your banking details etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustyfox Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I would go back to a restore point, this happened to me when I was downloading a programme for video's. Anyway I restored my computer to the day wear i wasnt having any trouble and it worked alrite after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
