| Virus warning I was googling a site when something called "Windows Enterprise Suite - Online Protection - Windows Internet Explorer" popped up saying I have a lot of viruses. Clicking on Start Protection, brings up some things to download, but my regular anti-virus (Webroot) is blocking those. I'm running a full sweep of my regular anti-virus now. What else should I do, or know? |

| Re: Virus warning You should know that the notice is fake, and that a rogue AV app is trying to infect your system, and clicking on "start protection" was the last thing you wanted to do. This is why these things are rampant, people just trust that what they are seeing is legit. Follow Peters advise to attempt to clean your system. -- -- "Joy" <joymp2@nospambellsouth.net> wrote in message news:OHYmDZIXKHA.844@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I was googling a site when something called "Windows Enterprise Suite - >Online Protection - Windows Internet Explorer" popped up saying I have a >lot of viruses.

| Re: Virus warning I realize this (now), however my webroot blocked what I was trying to download. I guess that when I realized it was probably a fake.

| Re: Virus warning Peter, I've downloaded SuperAntiSpyware, now I'm going to download MalwareBytes. Should I just run them, or follow the directions in the elephantboy, etc. I went there and it looks long and very complicated (for my 'intermediate' brain <S>), I'm going to print those directions, but since that starts in the middle of a page, how far down should I include?

| Re: Virus warning I ran the malwarebytes, using the Removal Guide in softsailor, etc. suggested by Bob, and it not only got rid if the Windows Enterprise Suite, but also a pop-up problem I've been having for about a month.
