I searched the messages here, but did not see an answer to this item.
I had AntiVirus 2008 come up twice saying there were viruses on my
system and offering to install software to remove them. I declined
each time.

Question, how does this item get to your machine to popup this
message? Does it install anything on your system at this point?

I have AVG Free v8 running, but apparently it is not catching it prior
to the popup.

Is there anything else I need to do to be completely safe from this
item, except to decline the install?

Thanks for any tips/suggestions/

Charliec

Use my Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from your system.
Download it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm And use Avast
antivirus it detects it before it installs.

Cyberstalking is a crime. If you had one as bad as I did simply ignoring
them is not an option.

Was the Antivirus 2008 just some pop-up window, IE you do NOT have it
installed, correct?

I would go with a hosts file and a pop-up blocker to help stop the
phony antivirus, etc pop-ups.

You should also scan (in safe mode) with adaware and spybot to clean
up anything that may not be wanted on the system.
