a pop up came up on saying my comp was at risk and i should run windows antivirus 2009 - i clicked cancel and closed the pop up but it still loaded the website even though i said no. it then told me i had a trojan virus and two other worms and the scanner could remove these right away. again i said cancel and the windows security alert came up about- although some files may help your comp files like this could potentially harm it and unless you trust it do not run - so i pressed cancel (do not run)but it kept coming up until about ten times later with me pressing cancel and the close icon it went away. my question is - has this somehow managed to load onto my computer and if so how do i get rid of it even though i kept pressing cancel and close could it still have run??

hi judy...welcome to TSG....
antivirus 2009 is a fake.....it's malware....and once on your machine, you'll need some help to clean it out.

read this sticky and follow the instructions for downloading hijack this, running a scan, and saving a log file.....once you've done that, start a new thread in the malware forum...describe your problem as you did here, and post your logfile with it.
