I had exactly the same problem recently even though I had AVG and Spy Bot. I found a similar question on here asked by someone else and took the advice that was given which was to download the free edition of Super Antispyware - I googled it and downloaded it that way. It has worked a treat ever since. I deleted Spy Bot and kept AVG and it's worked like a dream ever since. Good luck - it's a complete pain - it wouldn't let me open any windows or maybe for only a second or two before it came up with this warning. Don't pay any money though.

norton is antivirus and it only deals with infections that do serious harm to computers like delete files or programs. ms antivirus is not that dangerous, but it's really annoying stuff. norton isn't built to detect things like msantivirus 2008, but if you also have anti-spyware aboard your computer, it should be able to remove the infection.

anyways, you can also delete ms antivirus on your own, this way you don't need to download nor buy anything. here's removal guide: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-ms-antivirus-2008....

I used to have the same thing. Don't pay any money or click on any of the links as this will just make the virus worse. Its a Trojan and the only way I could find to get rid of it was to take the computer back to basics entirely. Take everything off that you have saved onto disc and compleatly start again.

You need to get a got anti spyware program like spybot search and destoy or adaware. Run those and it should get rid of your pop up

problem. Also make sure your antivirus is up to date.

i had a virus a bit like this

when i did i did a search on windows, found the file in my hard drive where it was saved and deleted it

if it tells you access denied then right click,go on properties and untick the box sayin something like let other information be feeding into this program (or something to that extent) and then try again

You have to be more specific as to what the virus name is,A good tip is to run live update then click on help to e-mail norton,

Ehm..

In my opinion Ccleaner is the number one tool for cleaning your pc. I've been using it for more then a year now and it works very well. You can grab your free copy here http://bitly.com/UrANQa

It's the best choice.
