Fake Security Center Alerts + Proof Defender 2009

psqr · 09-03-2009, 06:19 AM

Hello, few days ago , out of nowhere, on my computer appeared , what turned out to be a fake security system alert indicating that i have a Win32.Conficer.C.
There are 3 buttons ( Keep blocking, unblock, enable protection). First two are not available and when i clicked on "enable protection" button my computer downloaded Proof Defender 2009( which is somekind of a malware). i scaned my pc with spyhunter which found Rouge.Proof Defender 2009( however i wasnt able to remove it beacuse you need to by a full version of a program to do that so I removed proof defender 2009 file manually). afterwards i scanned my computer with ad-aware , spybot, spyhunter and mcaffe. none of them found proof defender 2009, but i still get those fake system security alerts every couple min. and when i turn on my internet browser , at first it displays a page called: insecure internet activity. threat of virus attack. What can I do to remove all of it? Fake system security allerts, proof defender and insecure internet activity. threat of virus attack? Please help me.

btw. im new here, so please try to be understanding
