This is a known infection where fake security alerts appear in your taskbar stating that you are infected. These alerts tend to be accompanied by a rogue anti-spyware program installed on your computer without your consent. Clicking on one of these fake security alerts will either bring you to a home page where you can purchase other fraudulent software or will install automatically, without your permission, one of these software.

Are you still having problems with the infection?

Thanks for the reply Cheeseball81.Yea the programme that came up was antivirus 2009 i presume it was the fraudload.as.Done msconfig but it still turned up so got her to download winpatrol.I got a link to another bit of information from winpatrol telling me to delete it from taskmaster.So i think thats worked for the above.But the other two were still there the last time i skyped her.Waiting for another contact but the time difference is causing a bit of delay.Do you think the other two were part of the same programme?
Thanks for your help.I will let you know whats happening.Regards ArtFog.
