Someone help me! My computer is getting messed up...?

Question

This thing called 'Internet Anitvirus Pro' sits on my toolbar at the bottom of my desktop and i dont want it there. Every now and then a message pops up saying this file is requesting permission to open. I think it is like a virus or something. I already tried deleting it using control panel but its still there. If you want more info just ask. Thx in advance.

Answer 1

Internet Antivirus Pro is online fraud and a computer parasite. It spreads through software exploits (usually via web browser vulnerabilities), but it may also trick people into downloading this useless software manually. InternetAntivirusPro uses online advertisements to attract customers and make them interested in buying this malware.



When installed, InternetAntivirus Pro starts loading many pop-ups with security-related content. It usually reports security and privacy risks or displays results of system scan. All these messages are fabricated to scare people into purchasing the full version of Internet Antivirus Pro. Do not trust pop-ups loaded by InternetAntivirus Pro! This program is not an anti-virus; it mimics anti-virus applications in order to get money.



InternetAntivirusPro may slow down computers performance and internet connection.



Internet Antivirus Pro properties:

• Changes browser settings

• Shows commercial adverts

• Connects itself to the internet

• Stays resident in background

Answer 2

I think it is just some kind of alerts that you can't open some files.

It happens sometimes when you deleted some system files or if you have some virus.

Try run your antivirus program and see if you have any virus on your computer. If you dont have antivirus, you can download one free on download.com

Its called AVG antivirus.
