To prevent viruses and trojans you need Antivirus softwares. The best one is Norton Anti virus. You can buy it from your local computer shop. \nHowever, just buying it and installing it on your computer will not save you. YOU HAVE TO UPDATE YOUR ANTIVIRUS VERY VERY VERY FREQUENTLY. IF POSSIBLE THEN EVERYDAY. \n\nIf you are affected with virus, then run antivirus scans and they will guide you through every step. \n\n--------------\n\nTo prevent spywares/adwares you can do many things. \n1. DO NOT VISIT UNWANTED WEBSITES\n2. DO NOT CLICK ON UNWANTED LINKS. example: some link might pop up saying "your computer is affected click here to ...." DO NOT CLICK ON THOSE LINKS. \n3. DO NOT CLICK ON LINKS THAT SAY "YOU HAVE WON ....". IT IS ADWARE. \n4. DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNSOLICITED SOFTWARE. MOSTLY FREE SOFTWARE. all of these have spyware. \n\nthe last thing to do is download antispyware softwares like Spyware Search and Destroy. Google it and download the latest version.

Hi there,\n\nThis is becoming a common occurence with the latest breed of malware infections.  Many are now blocking the installation of security solutions and removal tools.\n\nI would however try installing the free trial of Prevx1.  I have used this on a few occasions to remove infections similar to these completely free of charge and may help.:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

First of all to avoid an infection, use a firewall. To remove the virus, try scanning your hard drive for it using an anti-virus software. If you think that your antivirus is infected, download someother antivirus. Or use stinger ( http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ ), a standalone virus removal tool.

There is no foolproof way to avoid it, but there's things you can do to help fend it off: wash your hands often, keep your hands out of your mouth and away from your face, get excercise, drink lots of water and tea,(adding fresh lemon juice to water and tea helps strengthen your immune system), take a good multivitamin, and eat plenty of fruits and veggies (raw), but avoid junk food. Also, a good detox system works wonders for strengthening your immune system (green tea, organic tomato juice, detox teas, colon or whole body cleanses)

Could be hardware or software, Does it happen more often after your computer has been running for a while or just randomly? Is there anything that you do that makes it more likely to occur?

ask them... if they dont give it to you, you probably shouldnt have it. if they did something wrong via email contact there email provider (for example qwerty@yahoo.com contact yahoo) to complain.

The only sure way to get rid of it is to format the hard drive and reinstall windows. The people that allow your PC to be infected with this stuff get better and craftier every day with methods for circumventing anti-virus and spyware protection. Its a never-ending battle. You are better off just formatting the hard drive every couple of months and you will never have the problem again.

That is something you either enabled via your e-mail provider or cell phone provider. Contact the one you enabled through and ask how to disable.

I think that is a virus attached to your computer and creating itself.\nYou need to get a good antivirus like Etust http://www.my-etrust.com or AVG antivirus http://www.grisoft.com i'm sure you will get rid of the virus.

Sounds like spyware or adware that has taken up residence in your computer without your knowing. These come in secretly through the internet. One way to protect against it is to run a scan to find these and remove. One of the better solutions is Spybot - Search & Destroy [ http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html ] run that program and you may be suprised how much stuff is running on your computer you did not know about.

Buy what they are selling and they will leave you alone :)\nJoking of course, but that is what they are trying to get you to do I bet. I've done some of those online free scan offers just for skins and grins and every time the results have come back saying I have this or that spyware(s) and or virus. I know that is BS because I have very good Anti-virus/spyware protection, which is what you need. Also a good popup/spam/adware blocker would go a long way in stopping those "messages".I left that crap in the dust a long time ago.
