Bad ware and other computer nightmares to avoid.

When i web search for some websites sometimes i get hit with an
( Adobe Reader license agreement popup window ) when i try to close it
it will install some nasty addware virus program that will take over your system and turn everything upside down! even when i click no on the
adobe reader it will install it any way and you can't get rid of it without
formatting your hard drive!. if you know a removal tool that can get rid of that bad apple without formatting my hard drive or anyone else.
i don't have the virus now but its out there and can be a pain in the ass.
thanks.

i also get a fake virus window saying that your system is under attack! and now scanning.

i do have McAfee security center too.

greetings. it sounds like you are being targeted with a spoof of an adobe license agrreement. if you could provide us with a screenshot or some details (what you are searching for, which links you are clicking) we will be able to determine the best course of action.

there has been an increase of fake anti-virus programs on the internet lately. again, if you can provide a name and details of the fake anit-virus program, we can help you to remove it.

Hi there.

This is NOT the place to post if you have some problems, you post in the "PC Problems? I am a PC TECH" thread, if it warrants to be placed here, i will, i want to use this post as a warning to all, but if there are too many general posts it will defeat the purpose.

Thank You.
