Does anyone know how to get rid of the alerts?? i have McAfee, internet security installed and it doesnt seem to be stopping the alerts and it says my system is fine, but the alerts just keep going off. the alert is a yellow triangle with a caution sign in it on the taskbar on the bottom left corner, I hope somebody nows more about this than i do and can help. thanks

then
(1) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot do that now .Update it and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans in safe mode
(2) Do an online virus scan to check if you still have any other viruses in your computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or spyware .
(3) Get you self a good antivirus or a free one if your present anti virus is not protecting you .
If you still have problems you will need expert Spyware, Popup, and Hijacker removal assistance, do not hesitate to
visit the HijackThis Logs and Analysis forum.

It souns like your PC is infected with smitfraud. Use these scans to remove it.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.After you install any of them,make sure you update them to get the full affect.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.

You have a VIRUS called downloader on your computer. It makes popups making you think you need to download things even though nothing is wrong except this virus! do this...
go to google and type in "avg free"
