This is one of the rogue security applications that are actually malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are: * Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php * SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com/ * Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php * Windows Defender - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx * Spybot S&D - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help: * http://forums.spybot.info/ * http://www.spywarewarrior.com/index.php * http://forum.aumha.org/ * http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ * http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/
