Help with virus “Warning!!! your personal computer needs to install antivirus software”?
I accidentally accepted some dodgy link on msn and then my computer said it was infected. It works reasonably fine but every now and then when I click on a google link, I get redirected to a blank page with a pop-up saying:
“Warning!!! Your personal computer needs to install antivirus software! Personal Security can perform fast and free scan of your computer”
Whenever it pops up I just close it but it’s bugging me because it must mean my computer has a virus on it and so I can’t do internet banking and such safely. I’ve used AVG, Malwarebytes, spyware doctor, super-antispyware and many others. None of which detect anything, except for AVG which occasionally detects a “generic trojan installer” and “generic trojans”. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this so I can use my computer without feeling vulnerable?
I would probably suggest downloading Malwarebytes. I got a virus a few weeks back called Security Tool and AVG failed to remove it. So I panicked and searched and searched for a virus remover because I was so afraid of installing another virus. But after the reviews I decided to download Malwarebytes. What you need to do is restart your computer, press F8 during start up so you get safe mode options and run your computer in safe mode with networking. Then pull the internet back up, download Malwarebytes, run it and it should get rid of any virus on your computer. It works very well for a virus protection that’s free.

I would also recommend installing Firefox if you haven’t already and downloading the add-on Adblock Plus. It blocks all kinds of annoying ads and pop-ups and can even prevent software that is trying to install itself onto your computer.
