Should I trust this site?

http://xponlinescanner.com/2008/1/_frees...



This thing popped up that looked like a window from my computer saying my computer is infected and it took me to this site and it wants me to download this antivirus thing, but I don't trust this site. It's official looking, but instincts tell me there's something wrong. On the left of the site, under computer details, it got my country wrong, which is a little suspicious.

You are correct, don't go to that site. Your PC has a virus or Adware on it, that is what is causing the pop-up.



Virus/Spyware Removal Instructions:



Download, install, and update antivirus and antispyware programs (found below). Turn off System Restore off (Right click My Computer, to Properties, go the Restore tab, check the box to Disable system restore). Reboot into Safe Mode (pressing F8 on power up). Run the installed antivirus/spyware. After you have verified they are removed turn System Restore on (uncheck the box) and make sure all of your Windows Updates are completed.
