Security Alert!?

I have an AOL/McAfee security on my laptop and it's up to date. but a security alert on the bottom right corner always pop up saying that there's a virus infection on the executable files. and they want me to download an antivirus worth 79 usd. how can i stop it from popping up everytime?

don't buy that! these alerts are deceptive. they indicate, there's some software on your computer trying to sell you that stuff. as long as mcafee hadn't detected this advertising sosftware, i assume it's not a virus. this means you need anti spyware along with anti virus to keep your computer safe and to delete those alerts. here are some free anti spyware downloads: http://www.2-spyware.com/compare2.php

Do this online scan to see if you really do have a virus:

then get rid of mcAfee and us this free antivirus instead

Greetings, you have spyware on your machine and there could be an entry in your registry so even if you remove the files it left, it might pop up again and again until it's all cleaned out. I would recommend adding 2 more spyware programs as 1 is not good enough. I have mcafee too and I also have spybot search and destroy and avg antispy. Load them both, run them and remove the junk, then keep them up to date and run the scans at least once a week or more. I would also recommend winpatrol as it alerts you to any changes in your computer and you can see what starts up and is running on your machine and disable it or remove it.
