has anyone been automatically routed to this site inviting you to download a spyware fix ?
I have a virus that pops up from my security toolbar area, and says:
"System has detected a number of active spyware applications that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon to get rid of unwanted spyware by downloading an up-to-date antispyware solution."
My cursor locks up each time this message pops up. If I try to go to the recommended site, it takes me to : antivirgear.com/?aff=1012
via this address: 85.255.121.70
I downloaded Lavasoft/Adaware 7x, and did an advanced scan, but it did not find the virus, and therefore could not quarentine.
I don't think Antivirgear is a real deal, I think it is jamming up this pc...any help ???
Many thanks again for the valuable help.
