Security - November 2007

Are these things(actually windows) in the Internet telling you"Oh Gongratulations!You won!You're the 999,999th visitor!" virus or something?

Thanks a lot!

I am having a problem when I try to get to any site, lets say Internet explorer. The site will load and a few seconds later it just disappears. Try to get it again, the same thing happens, It just disappears.
Just by pure luck I found that if I try to get Internet explorer with no add ons allowed I get a message that "I am currently running with add ons disabled". Then if I click on Home it goes to my home page on internet explorer and I am able to continue on without it disappearing.
This has me baffled,
I ran anti virus and spyware and everything looks ok.
Any answers out there?
Thanks in advance
Jim

My boyfriend accidentally downloaded a virus/spyware program on to his computer. It is one of those where it says you have spyware and pops up with "buy this product to remove it" and it is even popping up with false IE and Microsoft security bubbles. He does have McAfee 12 in 1 protection and even went out and bought this Spyware Sweeper program but it isn't seeming to help at all. When he clicks on the site, the product name is Online Security Center 7.1. The bad thing is, not only is hard to search for in search engines (because I'm getting real spyware prevention things) but it is blocking some sites like the McAfee support and links that tell him how to get it off. If anyone can help me out, we'd greatly appreciate it. He could always reformat completely but he has a lot of stuff he doesn't want to lose.

My background has completely changed: It went from blue to black and my PC has the following message on my background:

Warning: Spyware threat has been detected on your PC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your computer has several fatal errors due to spyware activity.

Your IP address is XX.XXX.XXX.XXX and via this address and unauthorized access was gained by another computer. It is strongly recommended to instal an antispyware software to close all security vulnerabilities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I guess I'm trying to find the best way to handle this problem. It's telling me to get an antispyware program. Which is the best? Do I have to pay loads of money to get one. Can somebody help me?

The norton protection indicates it need attention because the anti virus is not installed nor the firewall.

Mine catches about 90% of the spam so I'm not complaining; still, if there's something better I would at least consider it. All input is appreciated.

I purchased a disc that cost $100 it is called ctrl center. The people at the store say that nothing but that will work, and any other thing will just prevent any more viruses from coming on. I also try to restore but it won't let me go back far enough.

I was on paltalk chatting. This guy claimed he had a paltalk booter and it boots people for fun. So he sent it to me. I opened it up and it ended up being a virus. I clicked on HEAL on my AVG and thought it was over. Now he says that he saw someone looking at ''cheerleading clips and western movies" on youtube. It wasnt me thats for sure. But it mightve been my brother.

How can I fix my computer so he cant get into it? Ive tried to boot my xp cd but it loads a certain file and my computer shuts off. Hes disabled my windows firewall and I cant even turn that on. I cant use system restore either. What should I do?
