    Hi,

    I am new to this forum, I hope someone can help me asap.

    I was browsing the web and suddenly the computer froze up. After restarting the PC I now keep getting popups telling me my computer is infected, telling me to cluck on an option to 'block the attack'. I have been clicking 'no' everytime, while running a Norton 360 scan but it doesn't pick up anything. Also it doesn't let me open IE, so I am posting this from my iPhone at the moment. Please can somebody assist me to get rid of this virus?


    I look forward to the response.

      I have searched a little on the internet and it seems the computer is infected with the 'Security Suite' virus. I hope this helps.

        Your system could be getting alerts from 'Rogue' Anti-malware as well.

        Best Shot:::

        Run your PC through "Safe Mode in Networking", pressing F8 while system boot.

        >>Go to Trend Micro's Housecall{Googling it will land you to correct destination}.

        OR

        >>Run an Online scan{They do have a QUICK SCAN option as well}

        >>Nip the Rogue anti-malware & alerts.

        Hope, this'll surely help.

        ***Safe Mode in Networking will ensure NO probable system slowdowns while enabling Internet connectivity.
