I close that and then I get multiple popups for Vista Security 2011...Well I knew that was bogus ..but I can see how it fools people because it looked just like the Windows Vista security page..<BR /> <BR /> I close them down and then all my icons on the right side of the tool bar disappear...except for my speaker icon and the internet icon...and a new one appeared..in the shape of a shield..<BR /> <BR /> OH OH figure I'd better do a Malwarebytes scan...no luck..can't open it..can't open AVG..can't open Superantispyware...can't open msconfig to see if I had something put into my startup...nothing..Can't get onto the internet...<BR /> <BR /> So I shut down my computer...wait..start it up again...popups for Vista Security 2011 again..it starts to run a scan to "show" me all "viruses"..etc...again I close that down and wait a minute..they don't open back up again..I tried starting in "safe mode"...same things going on there as in normal mode..(popups) I close down my computer again...<BR /> <BR /> I then go online on another computer of mine to find the "cure"...<BR /> <BR /> It looks like I have to download Malwarebytes on a thumb drive and then run it that way from a USB port on the infected computer...but I try something else first..<BR /> <BR /> I start the infected desktop again and again get the popups and close those down and try to get into the Maintenance of the computer to see if I can do a restore to a point from last week...3/30/11 when I had last done a Malwarebytes scan and came out clean...that worked...the computer restarted and was working fine..<BR /> <BR /> I did the malwarbytes scan and came up with two infections..a rogue.installer and a trojan.fake.alert for Sun Java...got rid of those, they are now in quarintine in malwarebytes...everything working fine..I run AVG...Malwarebytes (for the second time) and Superantispyware and all come out clean..only a few tracking cookies on AVG and Superantispyware..<BR /> <BR /> My question is..am I ok now...?...Should I worry ....I'm so conservative on where I go with my computer..I don't even belong to Facebook or Twitter...thanks...DW</P> Tue, 05 Apr 2011 03:14:56 GMT dancingwoman 2011-04-05T03:14:56Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/Vista-Security-2011/m-p/65272#M769 <P>Hi..I had a very tramatic day today...lol..<BR /> <BR /> I was looking up a movie review and all of a sudden a pop up appears for Sun Java.
