DriveCleaner is a special rogue-program for system cleaning and diagnostic. DriveCleaner use browser security holes and installed without your consent while you surfing web (most often adult or games websites).Often DriveClenaner comes with other malware. Once installed, this application will load on every Windows startup and displays false information about security and privacy problems on your computer.Also DriveCleaner frequently launches pop-ups that look like system errors.

Answer 6

this is a nuisance this pop up,luckily i have manged to get rid of it using adaware personal(http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5)
you would think that this would of been sorted by now,i ean its got to come from somewhere,even p.c,s that are well protected are having problems with this pop-up
the main reasons for this is for the 10 p.c users like ourselves who keep our p.c,s pretty well clear of malware there are 20 others out there who use the net without or with very little security
and with all them unsecure p.c,s out there thats a excellent breeding ground for malware and popups to spread
what annoys me is that most good anti-virus and anti-spyware software you can get free,i reckon yahoo should have a security week were they push the reality of viruses home to every yahoo user
this can come in the form of free downloads,information about protecting your p.c,s and free on-line forums for unsure users to chat to security experts about protecting their p.c,s
so try lavasofts adaware(link above) and also try spyware blaster(http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html),these should keep your p.c free from these pests
good luck mate
