Hi guys,
The other night i left my computer on all night and when i was about to use it the next day, i noticed that there was a new program in my task bar located in the notification area. It keeps popping up with a message every five minutes telling me to download an antivirus to help protect my computer from any infections. However, i do not want to since i already have an antivirus. When i click on this program in the notification area it sends me to the link of the antivirus. Now i don't know how to get rid of it. I tried looking for the program so i could delete it from the system but my computer calls it an "unknown program".
Also another thing is that now, whenever i open my internet explorer it takes me to this unknown site advertising about their security software. I tried changing my home page but it still takes me to the same site and i don't know what to do.
So can anyone plz help me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i'll also post a hijackthis log.
Thanks in advance.
