Rougeware

This isn't anything new, but for those of you who don't know anything about it... MSNBC Link There is another one called Antivirus 2010 from the same league. They say education is your best protection. If you see anything like this, just turn off the pc. Do NOT click <span style="font-style: italic">anywhere</span> on the window as the article says. More advanced users can use task manager and services.msc to kill it. I assure you that it isn't very easy to remove. I'm working on one now. There is a mix of old and new stuff in the newest variant.

<span style="color: #3333FF">Sounds like something we caught on our computer a little while back. It kept warning of a virus and popping up ads to buy some anti-virus and redirecting web pages to porn sites. It wouldn't let me run an antivirus program. </span>
