My laptop was working well this morning. I noticed it had windows updates available, so I ran them. After restart, 'Vista Antispyware 2012' (presumably a new program installed with the updates) began to flood me with popup spam insisting I must buy this new program. I use a 3rd party virus protection program, I do not want Vista Antispyware. I am concerned as now: 1) I can not view webpages (Vista antispyware forces explorer into an endless loop of displaying an alert with 3 options: buy the program, run a scan (with the program), or continue (not recommended). Clicking the continue (not recommended) option just reloads the same alert. 2) Any time I startup I am bombarded with advertisements from microsoft trying to force me to buy this Vista Antispyware 2012. 3) At startup the program automaticly starts a scan, I can't seem to disable it (in Windows Security center -> Firewall section, I have Vista Antispyware turned off, yet it still runs). Summary: A windows update has infested my computer with popups and spam from the 'Vista Antispyware 2012' program, how do I perminantly remove it and prevent these popups in the future? Thanks
