    omg..i got that too eversince either i upgraded some shit from microsoft updates or the spywares gave me that when i accidentally dled some bad file..
    then i stopped using IE..and switched to firefox now. however, that stupid wins ad still pops up but seldom..
    my fren said it's some shit.. ignore it.. perhaps ve to format :(
    but i reckon it's juz some registry key to b deleted or some file... and i ve no idea which..

    WINANTIVIRUSPRO..it's not any random popup..
    it's a malware.. very popular one which eventually can harm ur pc/laptop if u install it.. google it and u'll know wat harms it cud do.. one of it is invite more spywares into ur pc and also slow down or crash d system if worsens...
    best.. ignore it and perhaps switch to firefox.. however.. the popup will still appear but lesser.. i found 2 websites on how to remove it.. many other webs ve failed to do so.. but it's sooo hard n confusing.. so i'll prolly wait it tilllllll i feel like leraning..

    yes...it is a random popup...as in the fact that it will pop up randomly along with other adds like it...and theres more like it..and it is also known by a few other names.....read what i said carefully...its a spoofed site..as in the actual app doesnt exist...its a cover for another app..ie spyware of malware...

    it's not any random shitttttttttttttt...
    i read from many websites.. THIS POPUP APPEARS IN ONE'S SYSTEM SUDDENLY BCOZ OF SOME REASONS..
    COULD BE DUE TO SUN JAVA VERSION..
    COULD BE DUE TO OTHER SPYWARES..
    YES.. D BEST IS DON'T INSTALL THAT FILE OR EVEN CLICK ON ANY SHIT ON THE POPUP EXCEPT EXIT..

    again...ur not paying attention to what i'm saying..did i not state that it can be caused if ur ie browser is messed...and also..read what u found clearly..1- its there because ur broswer is infected and u'll get the pop-ups...or 2-ur system is actually infected with it...again..as what i said...it runs under dif names and is flagged under malware...spyware and adaware...and leef..if this thing is popping up alot..chances are u are actually infected with it..it thats the case...reply back and we'll see if we can help u remove it..

    LOL.. why don't you juz post ur way to remove it then/? since the person who needs it most is the owner of this thread..

    it's not affectng my laptop system.. so i'm all good.
    moreover, many IT experts have different ways to fixing or removing the problem.. even some of microsoft online helpers are tryin to remove and find out wat caused it sth like that.. they're encouraging more of some users wid suchc problems to report this matter and post their HJ log so they can check etc.
    So perhaps you could help the owner of this thread.. cheers

    from wat I see...this thing is a pain to remove..yes..u are correct in the fact that most IT specialist will have a diff method to remove this...however...in ur googloing I'm sure that u have found that the more commonly method used to try...and I put emphasis on try...is with the vundo removal tool and by using hijack this....even then with this type off infection....it can be difficult to remove....and u are correct and u also reinforced my poiint with ur comment....its either a randon popup due to browser issues or ur system is actually infected....once level or type of infection is dicscovered...then one can move to cleaning..

    leave that as a last option..as in u can cause damage if u don know wat ur doing..and the extra files could be anything..no necessarily anything bad..

    Lol Omg.. Oh Er.. I Wanna Share Sth Wid U All Too..
    A Few Of Some Frens Reformat Whole Pc And Reinstalled D Windows..
    They Ve No Idea How D Problem Still Occur.. Even I'm Shocked Lol.
    Perhaps Most Important.. Is To Try Update Ur Version Of Sun Java.. To 7 I Think... If U Haven't Click On Those Popups To Install.

    some helpful links:

    http://helpdesk.its.uiowa.edu/window...s/reformat.htm

    disclaimer:knoctur_nal not held for anything that goes wrong to your system inthe process.and you do know that an install removes everything from your laptop. so backup everything before you start. however, i strongly suggest you leave this as a last option.
