Answer 1

It certainly sounds like you have been infected with some kind of malware. Unfortunately, if you find one infection, it is highly likely you have another one.

Since NONE of the anti-spyware/anti-adware programs are 100% accurate in finding and removing spyware, you need at least two programs which you will run one after the other, not at the same time.

There are two excellent free ones:
Spybot, Search and Destroy
and
Ad-Aware
Both are available FREE from www.download.com
You will need to download, install, update and run them, one at a time. Be careful with the NAME of these programs - there are "look-alikes" with very similar names, that are in fact spyware themselves!

After this current infection is cleared up, be sure to run both of the above programs at least once a week if you are on the internet frequently and/or like to download music or files.

Before you run these, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner (available at www.filehippo.com) to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP. If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:
- Double-Click on My Computer to open it up
- RIGHT-click on your C: drive
- Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button
- When done, reboot your computer.
Delete these files daily or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.

You should also have a good anti-virus program and a firewall to help protect your computer. AVG FREE is an excellent anti-virus program, which can be downloaded from www.download.com. Zone Alarm makes a totally free version (watch you don't download the 30-day free trial of the paid version). You can download this from the manufacturer at www.zonelabs.com

HTH : )
Good luck!

Answer 2

I have been experiencing this myself over the past couple of days, a malware notice came up supposedly from Microsoft saying that my computer was infected and someone was obtaining my personal details, however I have Mcafee internet security installed and its telling me my computer is fine and to avoid malware, a red sign lights up, it tried to automatically install the software on my machine, dodgey or what, its very clever as you think its legitimate as its supposedly endorsed by Microsoft but its rubbish and conflicts with your virus software, report it to Microsoft like I did.
