It sounds like you've been hit by a virus. The porn sites are full of them. Unless you've been looking at kiddie porn then you have nothing to worry about. What to do...use your anti-virus to try to rid yourself of it, if you don't have an anti-virus go to http://grisoft and download AVG Free. But you might start with system restore. I'll direct you like you're a novice, don't be insulted: 1)Take your mouse cursor to the bottom left corner of your screen, to the task bar, click on start. Then click on 'all programs', then click on 'accessories', then click on 'system tools', then click on 'system restore', then follow the prompts, this will return your computer to a time (that you pick) before you got hit with the virus.
If you have the virus I think you have it's a trojan horse, a$$hole$ are trying to get you to buy a product to clean up the bug they gave you.
The very best advise that I can give you is that most virus's are aimed not at windows but at internet explorer, so I strongly advise you to download Mozilla (an alternate browser to surf the web), I use it to look at porn. I had a constant fight with bugs till I switched to Mozilla/firefox. If you do so download everything it offers you and you will surf alot more safely.
Sorry for the long answer, trying to help, for all this work I hope you choose me as best answer. If you need more help you can click on my icon and they will allow you to e-mail me. I'm straight & married, my wife knows I look, sometimes so does she. Good luck!

Whatever it says doesn't matter if it asks you for money. It's sounds like an ad so just click the x in the corner, or right click on it's button on the task bar to close it. Run your anti-virus and spyware programs to make sure nothing has been installed without your permission. Also install a program to prevent premium sites from dialling your number and racking up your phone bill. System Restore will take your computer back to a safe point. However, I find that turning off system restore and using Go Back instead speeds up my computer. I do think it's that if you don't use your credit card for underage or bestiality sites you should be ok.

This is a scam. As long as the porn you are downloading is legal (meaning everyone is of age, over 18) You are free to have it.
If you were truly under investigation, they wouldn't tell you, they would have come in and seized your hard drive. Why would they warn you in time for you to destroy evidence?
I'm not sure of how to get the warning off though, as I have never seen it.

You downloaded some spyware AND some trojans (viruses). Same thing happened to my system when my son downloaded a program that supposedly was to give him free XXX passwords.
Yahoo Anti-spy and others would not get rid of it.
Download Avast! Anti-Virus (free trial) and run it. It probably wouldn't hurt to get Spy Sweeper as well. Run both. That's how I got rid of the crap on my system. And never (NEVER) let anyone automatically install software to your system.

This is a scam. To remove this, go to your IE tools tab and have a look at your add-ons. If the offender is there [or an add-on you do not recognise], delete it. You can also open Internet Properties in your Security folder and add their site to Restricted list.
Good luck!

I am a female and allow my husband to look at porn, I have come to realize that a lot of porn you may come across contains spyware & viruses. You may have to do a virus scan and spyware scan on your computer to get rid of that.
Don't buy that product, most likely it is bogus. For your protection and for your computers protection don't look at porn on the computer buy videos and magazine.
