This is strange should I be concerned?

One thing you should never do is agree to any third party pop up message that says you have malware or anything else on your system as it is likely that it is a virus of some sort. You AVG is more than efficient to do the job. After having had this experience make sure that you scan your system using your AVG product. Good luck. Andrew

It is a virus...I had the same problem recently. What I had to do was then to launch my AVG free version software to scan my computer and it removed all the viruses. That's one problem I guess with the free version....you need to start the scan manually for it to find these pop up viruses.

Yes, it's a virus. I used to have a problem with something called Stop Sign, I think it was, and it was a pain to get rid of. Do a scan with AVG but it might not find it. I think I had to end up getting Norton to get rid of it. It will continue to pop up again and again if it's the same one I had. You said that you changed your screen saver. Did you download any from the web? If so, that's where you picked up the virus.

Yes, you should be concerned. What was downloaded (closing your browser was too late) was mal-ware/spyware/hijacker program. Visit this website: www.geekstogo.com They offer free help to rid your computer of such programs. Registry is free and allows for more personal help. On their home page, scroll down, and on the right-hand side column there is a column named "Forums". The first three (How-to Guides, Malware Removal, Removal Guides) are there to help you, step-by-step, to remove the program. Good luck. celtic

Yup, could be a virus.

Yes. It is a virus and they are trying to make you download it; DONT! That happend to me to so i had to shut down the operation.

If you get that screen saver form the web then maybe that initiate the virus. I used to experienced that before and from that day on i have learned my lesson not to get any on the web. If i do so i make sure that the website is safe. Well my PC has never been good since that and I think i have eliminated that problem when i reformat my computer. As for your PC problem, i think you have to clean that before it ruins your PC. Run your AVG free version to scan and clean it.

Ya you should defienetly be concerned because its a virus which is spreading across various countries and i think that you have done the right thing by eliminating the download and disabling from affecting your computer..i think i have heard somewhat similar to this virus in my place and i think that these sort of viruses enter your computer through internet and when you open any site which is not good for browsing....happy mylotting....

I had that a few weeks ago before I had to crash my computer.. That IS a virus! Some times a virus will look like a microsoft download that pops up from nowhere.. Don't do it.. and even if you don't download the program I can almost bet you are going to start having problems in the near future, at least I did. scan with the free online scanners.. no ONE virus scanner can detect everything.. this is why it is best to scan with more than a couple.

If you're talking about Malaware, then yes this is a very bad bad virus. This happened to me before and it effected everything from the speed of typing on my keyboard to anything else you can think of. I would get these darn pop ups all the time saying that I needed to download this antivirus software from this one certain website. I phoned HP Compaq and they told me what to do and what this virus was all about. She told me another country created this and I picked it up from certain websites that I've visited and what they do is send these pop ups and get you to purchase their software and scam you with your credit card numbers. She adviced me to save nothing on my computer and just do a total recovery so I thought I was going to lose tons of pictures and other music files and such until I put them on a different server and saved them there like facebook.com or photobucket.com. She said that if I store all my pictures on a cd then go to reinstall them, it would be carrying the virus and when I went to install them back onto my computer then it would reinstall the virus as well. To find out if you have malaware, you need to go to your start menu, type malaware in your search space, let it do a search and if you have it try a restore to an earlier date when you think your computer was okay, restart your computer then try the search again and if it's gone then you're lucky and okay, otherwise if it comes up again, then you should do a recovery with your disk softwares that you got when you bought your computer I hope this helps! Good luck and merry christmas

Whenever something pops up saying to download never do it even if free.If you think you need an anti malware search the net for good ones and download them from there.

This should be concerned.When we are surfing online,we should be more careful.

=P this is why I got the Adblock plus extension for Firefox. UAC in Vista protects me extra. I consider linux as an alternative, but No I like my computer the way it is. you shouldn't be concerned unless you see much more pop ups, in that case its a trojan downloader

sounds like a virus to me, scan your computer with avg which is already on your computer right? that's the safest way and you sound be ok

Dont donwload its virus.
