I DONT view porn/adult sites on the internet, nor does anyone from my family. However, I sometimes get from friends/relations, some pictures of family members (no sexual content), nature, e greetings, etc.
Now I find that I suddenly get warning pop ups which say that there is a security danger as I have visited some adult/porn sites, etc. and offers free scan. This free scan is mostly from 'Ultimate Defender', and lists a large no. of dangerous items affecting my computer. Of course they ask for a fee to download their scan program.
This sudden pop up creates serious misunderstandings within the family as we all use only one computer that runs on XP.
I scan my computer daily twice with Windows Defender, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Ad-aware SE. I remove any objectionable spyware/malware/trojan etc. they recommend.
Is there anyway I can get rid of this notice from Ultimate Defender? Is their scan/notice genuine?
Only genuine experts reply, please. Thanks.
