What he said. You have a common disease that likes to pretend it is helping when it really a very clever spam to get your credit card info.

what is the exact name of the faux spyware program that is associated with the red screen?

what operating system do you have?

can anyone please give me some help?
i got on a website to order some byrds books and tried to use paypal, but something went wrong and now i'm getting all these popups on the right side of my screen when online.
i brought up my mcafee and it sez that its working and that i'm covered, but these damn damn popups keep coming up. and then then a big one from Norton and there's one from Mcafee too.

see my next post...

plus this thing...

I would remove the virus that they are alerting you of would be my suggestion. I would also suggest removing one or both of the antivirus programs as windows defender does a fine job of catching them. I would also be skeptical of whatever site you attempted to purchase from as that seems to be where it came from in the first place.

Having more than one antivirus at the time is asking for trouble. Stay with Windows Defender, delete the rest.

Also, download this - https://www.kaspersky.co.uk/downloads/free-rescue-disk

Follow install instructions (link below "download" button), but do all that (download and install on usb drive) on the other, unaffected computer. After that, boot your affected computer from that very usb drive and let it do the job.

thanks for the help. i'm over the denial part as of yesterday. i guess you guys need a bigger hammer to get my attention.

i had defender turned off and for some reason my firewall was off (probaby because i was using that machine to share some torrents.)
i ran both mcaffee and defender on that infected machine and they both came back and said i was okay, but those infernal popups persisted, albeit at a slower pace.
i haven't checked today as yet.

Joujoujou: do i need to turn off my antivirus programs on the infected machine before i try the kaspersky rescue? i guess i will find out from them...?

i used your link and it sez that kaspersky freebie is unavailable to USA users (i may have subscribed to them once upon a time but not presently).
guess i'll get over to mcafee and see what i can do. i think i've been through this before... but not on that machine, its my newest one

[mr breeze]

okay, i'm back up on the box in question.
i ran another mcafee virus check after updating my app and got a no problems found,
so far so good.
no popup messages...
walking on eggs...
thanks again.

update: today those pesky popup alerts are back.
