Fake Anti-Virus Pop Ups.
As I surf the forums, or Internet Explorer itself, I get these annoying pop-ups saying I have about 50 viruses. I know they're fake, because the skin for that pop-up is XP, and I run Vista. I have a great pop-up blocker, and they still come up. Any help?

Did you do that yet?
I have some help. Get firefox.
With firefox, you won't have any of those popups.
It may sound like an advertisement, but, well, I guess it is. ^_^
Ask almost anyone, firefox is better than IE. :P
Thanks.
Problem with that, jxc: I'm on my brother's computer.

So, you don't want to DL stuff?
Grab a flash drive, if available. You could also just DL it, and delete it when you finish using his comp. Does the computer have any form of anti-virus/spyware?
Thanks.

He'll yell at me if I do.
Plus, a flash drive isn't avalible.

Norton 360.


EDIT: The pop-up updated to a Vista skin. Although, I am surprised it found all my bro's files.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials, and whenever those pop up it gives me a message saying I got a new virus, it deletes it, and I don't get them anymore.
On 18, 2008 of the year August, we shall have tea. The following day we eat anyone wearing purple clothes. Then we get into tanks, drive a mile away from each other, and start firing random shells into the air. First one to hit the other tank gets a 5 second head start in the 1 legged race.

In the one legged race, you will be hogtied and forced to compete in the Boston marathon using your penis only. We shall also set down bear traps, landmines, barbed wire, and floating thumbs. Your penis will be painted to resemble an illusion that looks like a 3-D steak; as a result, several Dobermen and Rottweilers we will be taking for a walk that morning which have been starved the previous week may attack.

This is a rouge antivirus trying to get you to buy a fake product. Find out the name, then look on google for a removal tutorial.

That's what I did when I had one.
