MS Antispyware 2009 popup
MS Antispyware 2009 keeps popping up and saying
INFILTRATION ALERT
Your computer is being attacked bu an internet virus...
Is MS Antispyware 2009 legit and how do I stop it from popping up? It tells me to buy it if I want to rid the viruses but I'm not buying it.

No, MSAS2009 is definitely not legitimate.

The General Security forum is only for general questions regarding security software and things of that nature but not for actually removing malware as we have qualified helpers who are the only members who are authorized to assist with those matters. You can easily identify them as they have either a gold or blue shield beside their usernames. Please refer to this excerpt from the rules:

Quote:
Log Analysis/Malware Removal - In order to ensure that advice given to users is consistent and of the highest quality, those who wish to assist with security related matters must first graduate from one of the malware boot camp training universities or be approved by the administration as already being qualified. Those authorized to help with malware issues have a gold shield next to their name and authorized malware removal trainees have a blue shield next to their names. Anyone wishing to participate in a training program should contact a Moderator for more information.
I'm going to close this thread and ask you to repost in the Malware Removal & HijackThis Logs forum for the proper assistance.
