I was surfing around lots of places and a warning came up that I had threats (trojans, worms, spyware, adware). It is stating that my credit card info could be stolen, yet it is prompting me to purchase the system security with my credit card. I am afraid of the very thing that is stating it will protect me. Please help, ASAP

The software telling you that you are infected and at risk, is a rogue [fake] program.



Download: [Install, Update, Scan]

> one at a time.



SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition

http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE

> Manual updates



Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

> Manual updates are needed daily, before scanning.



Spybot Search & Destroy

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

> Catches what two above miss



Edit:

Switch to a more secure web-browser such as, Mozilla Firefox with Addons:

> NoScript

> Adblock Plus

> WOT - for IE aswell

> McAfee SiteAdvisor - for IE aswell

My god...what are you...about 10 years old...maybe 14....a young puke?



"System Security is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Winweb Security. This program is classified as a rogue because it uses false scan results as a method of scaring you into purchasing the software. If System Security is installed, it will be set to start automatically when you login to your computer. Once running, the program will begin to scan your computer and list a variety of infections that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the program..."

Malwarebytes can be installed in safe mode but not Superantispyware. Download either Superantispyware or Malwarebytes. In my opinion these go hand and hand with each other because what one misses the other picks up. If you are using Internet Explorer I recommend using Mozilla Firefox because there is a less chance of malware targeting this browser, although it is still possible. If you have problems downloading or installing the malware removal tools please send an email to me and I will give you a step by step advice to fix this. Malware tends to block the download and installation of anti-virus and anti-spyware programs and websites. I recommend scanning in safe mode because a lot of times safe mode disables malware but this is not totally accurate. You can access safe mode by tapping F8 when your computer restarts, make sure to go into safe mode with networking to update the malware removal tools. I also recommend turning off system restore because users can restore their PC back to an infected state. You can do this by right clicking my computer, select properties, select system restore, and select turn off system restore.

Update and do a quick scan with Malwarebytes and a full scan with Superantispyare to get rid of any malware that is installed on your PC. I recommend doing a scan with only one of these tools at a time because there may be complications. Once the removal process is finished restart your computer and turn system restore back on. Run Ccleaner and delete temporary files and invalid registry entries. If you have any questions email me at dejay19826@yahoo.com

This is not protection, it is spyware. If your anti-spyware can not repair this get a decent one.Fully update it, then do a full scan in safe mode.

That thing asking for your credit card actually IS a virus. Use a REAL antivirus program to clean it out.

That prompt is spyware. DL and run Spybot.
