Windows Security Alert

Using Vista Home Premium and Internet Explorer 7. When on the internet, I'm
getting a popup titled "Windows Security Alert." It says my computer is
infected with:

Admess.trojan
zserv.Transponder.Trojan
and others.

It wants me to download a remover from promalwarescannerv2.com.

I'm running McAfee Total Protection, but when I do a system scan it says all
is OK.

I did a system restore, but it comes back later.
What's going on? CB

Turn off Windows Restore, scan.
If that doesn't work - reformat.

It's a scam/hoax. They either want you to download a
virus/trojan/malware or they want you to pay for a worthless program
9and steal your identity).

Ignore it... You may want to turn off the Windows Messenger service....

Huh?????? That's nuts!!!! The OP almost certainly doesn't have a virus.
Your recommendation is somewhat like removing the head to stop a
headache... :-(

Hello

Do you see these popup every time browsing the web?.
If yes, you are probably infected with malware (ex. browser hijacker).

Your computer is infected with malware. McAfee, like most of the security
suites, is not effective against many infections. Download and run both of
the following programs (free versions).

Malwarebytes
Superantispyware

I recommend also installing SpywareBlaster which will give you additional
ongoing protection.

reformat is a last resort.

I like seeing those ads made to look like a Windows XP error - when I'm
using the Mac.

 

Start Internet Explorer in Safe Mode. See if the pop-up returns. If it is
gone, it is a Spyware Add-Onn wich you can easily disable/delete.

my computer has a virus alert it is Windows system Suite and it is
contacted to C:\ProgramData\c6e34e3 which come up Wsc6e3.exe I am sure
that it is safe to delete, but wanted to make sure before I delete, this
even put an icon on my desktop

I found all of the places that this was hiding and deleted them all,
that seem to have taken care of that.
