Okayyyyy!, Same thing happened to my husbands computer about 3 years ago. We bought the required program and I acalled a friend that is MICROSOFT certified. The guy came over and worked on deleting this thing about six times before it would go away and then we had to notify our credit card company to stop payment. Grrr. We need to be care full huh.

Man those screens looked good.. very official, very enticing... but *I* know better, and I know my way around a computer's innards.. So I searched the hard drive for the "files" it says it found.. and gee wilickers, I can't find them.. so I fire up the laptop to do some googling and sure'enuf its a bad one.. What ticks me totally off (and Dave will lose his MIND over this) is I have real time scanning, I have the latest and greatest anti-every-darn thing on my desktop and it did not blink an eye. So now I am on the laptop (which runs completely with out protection - but thats gonna change) and I have to take my baby over to the guru to finish getting rid of the parts I can't find of this nasty thing BTW this one was titled "XP Home Security 2011" my research showed me there are a few variations of this.. but the general rule is pop ups that tell you you need to pay for something to clean your computer is bad.. B A D Be safe out there people... always question what you click on.. don;t let wording of the request frighten you into doing something you will probably regret.
