i get this message popping up constantly on windows- it appears on the windows security badge with red, green, yellow and blue on an icon on the bottom right.
the message reads:
WARNING! Your computer is infected
Windows has detected spyware infection! Click this message to install the latest update of Windows security software.. (the two full stops at the end are intentional- no idea what they are for!)
if i click the icon, it directs me into IE even though i use firefox and another message pops up:
NOTICE! If your computer has been running slower than normal, it may be infected with viruses, adware or spyware.

which gets redirected i think
and the Cancel button gets redirected to a slightly different page

(not sure whether this will be the same for you)
every time i click the link to download, my other virus programs (avast and i think the other one is winferno) tell me it is infected, so i havent downloaded anything yet.
sorry if similar problems have been tackled, but im new on the board so i wouldnt know about them!!
thanks in advance
