Does anyone know what I can do, every time I turn computer on before I go on the net I have a window comes up saying (Internet Antivirus pro) & I can't get rid of it, when you click it off it just comes up to send an error report to microsoft then just comes back again, it's driving me mad? |

Often it's as easy to remove by going to the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAM feature located in your CONTROL PANEL. Activate the feature, from the list of programs listed scroll and find the offending program to be uninstalled, click on it and follow the prompts to uninstall. |

Hi all, It's not in my control panel to remove so I think it's not installed but still can't get rid of the pop-up, it's constantly there. |

Try Super Anti Spyware, you can download it for free from File Hippo. |

I had something very similar to this. Because my son-in-law wasn't available at the time(!) I had a home visit from a Computer Services chap. He said its a con to make you pay, but not harmful. He did something which cleaned it out and then installed Free AVG (instead of my existing anti-virus) which is good at intercepting and dealing with these. Have had no more problems. Might be worth installing the AVG anyway. |

Several things to try to get rid of it...not a waste of time if it doesn't as the following should be done on occasion as part of your routine PC maintenance. First empty your COOKIES and TEMPORARY INTERNET folders. |
