Anyone else see this?
You go to a legit site, and an add loads that causes a popup that says something to the effect of, "You have a virus on your computer, allow us to remove it!"
Even if you use your computer jedi tricks to get around clicking it, its too late, and its already loaded a trojan virus to your computer.
The recent wave of trojans like to load websites for advertisements.
I seriously have to wonder about this. EVERY time ive had one of these infect my computer I have had to reformat and reinstall. either i cannot get rid of them with a suite of AVG, Adaware, Spybot and Malware Bytes. OR they break something on my computer when it reboots and i have to deal with a bluescreen as soon as the computer logs into windows.
I just now got a new one, that makes 4 times. 2 in 2 weeks
I am using Firefox 3 also.
So what is my recourse? Is there a better protection program, or do i have to get a virtual machine setup going just to surf the internet?
