Windows Security Virus?
I am using Avg free virus protection which has been working very well. Just recently I am getting messages that my computer, Dell, is infected with 20 some viruses. I have updated my protection to the most recent, run a scan, everything is green and says it is working properly. I scanned the computer and 2 viruses showed up and were quarantined. I have these pop ups constantly which also leave pornographic shortcuts on my desktop. How to I solve this issue?

# Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, or MBAM, from the following location and save it to your desktop: # Double-click on the icon on your desktop named mbam-setup.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer. # When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing, make sure you leave both the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware checked. Then click on the Finish button. # MBAM will now automatically start and you will see a message stating that you should update the program before performing a scan. As MBAM will automatically update itself after the install, you can press the OK button to close that box # On the Scanner tab, make sure the the Perform full scan option is selected and then click on the Scan button to start scanning your computer for Windows Security Suite related files. # MBAM will now start scanning your computer for malware. # You will now be back at the main Scanner screen. At this point you should click on the Show Results button. # A screen displaying all the malware that the program found will be shown as seen in the image below. Please note that the infections found may be different than what is shown in the image. # You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove all the listed malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files, MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once your computer has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with the rest of the steps. # When MBAM has finished removing the malware, it will open the scan log and display it in Notepad. Review the log as desired, and then close the Notepad window. # You can now exit the MBAM program.
