Is that scam advertising trying to sell you, one (or more) of these useless products? Don't buy anything that it is advertising It's a scam! If it is one of these, then it is likely an infection called Smitfraud that is causing the phony warnings. It is scam advertising trying to swindle you. And a link to a free removal tool is down at the bottom.

There are others. The "black-hats" are adding more rogue programs weekly.
If so, then you most likely have a serious Smitfraud infection and a free removal tool called SmitFraudFix with the removal procedure is here:

More infomation and another free removal tool called RogueFix can be found here:

Most "All-Purpose" malware apps such as AVG, Norton, Spybot etc unfortunatly can not remove or even detect this vile pest called Smitfraud.
Good luck.

You don't have a virus you have a trojan (spyware). Download and run Spybot S&D and also download and run Ad-Aware 2007.
Those should be able to detect and delete all the junk. Make sure you update them first.
Search for them at http://download.com

Put in some real anti-spyware. The fake ones just put on more trojans and spyware. Spybot Search and Destroy works.

The VERY best way to permanently get rid of popups is to delete Windows and get good open source software instead, such as Suse, Red Hat, Kubuntu, etc. You can get it free at www.kubuntu.org
