Hi.
This is Sandeep.
Yesterday, while i was surfing (i also did try some downloads... and i curse myself for that now..), my system started giving these bugging popups out of my system tray, informing about my PC being affected by viruses, trojans and what not. My PC was never diagonised that bad .
I checked the add/remove from the control panel, and found this new program - "System Alert Popup". I tried removing it, but it asked for a system reboot before deleting, i did that, but upon restarting, found that it was still there. Tried same stuff again, and it worked. Assuming that i have rectified the problem, i started surfing again (this time, with even the Norton parental control on, and windows firewal active). I was almost dead when i saw that annoying pop up again (as if it was smiling at me as it made a fool out of me).
I quickly went back to add/remove, and this time saw a new program "Internet Explorer Security Plugin 2006". Tried removing it, but this is not helping. The program sits there and keeps popping every few mins.... This is realy creating a problem.
PS: I have Norton Antivirus 2005. I even ran full system scan 2 times (1st time gave 5 infections. 3 were removed 2 were excluded). 2nd time, no infections. means norton is not able to read the malware.
