Bogus warning keeps popping up-how can I get rid of it? (screenshot)
Can anyone help me find a way to get rid of this. I have run Malwarebytes, CC Cleaner, Spybot S&D. It keeps popping up intermittently. I can get rid of it using the Task Manager, but then it will pop up again. Where is this little piece of sh*t hiding? Here is a screen shot of it. (I have Windows 7, I use Chrome, HP Pavilion computer....)

(38,613 posts)I'm guessing the "Fix Now" button takes you to a website, if this isn't a legitimate application.
We can try a Google search on the name of the popup and see what happens

(21,893 posts)I ran Microsoft Safety Scanner that is supposed to dig deep to find these things, but it came up with nada.
I read about roguekiller. Apparently it is very good if you know what you are doing..... it will give you a list of possible culprits and you have to know which ones are okay and what is not.....
Maybe I'll run it and see what comes up, but I may be to scared to delete anything.....
I'll research eset too.
thanks a lot.
