I got this weird window 2 times lately.

It is saying that i did not complete some scan, therefore my computer could be infested by some virus, therefore i owe to download antivirus 2009 now.


However it is fucked up for so many reasons :

-First it is supposedly a message system, but it is in Garena skin ;

-Second the french used in it is very approximative, which would never be the case in a regular system message ;

-Third there is a lot of "!", which also would never be there if it was a regular system message ;

-Forth i get the garena click sound when i close this window, even though garena is actually not running at all ;

-Fifth when i first closed it, my regular antivirus (Avast!) sent me a message that I was being infected by a trojan.

I deleted the "trojan", yet the said window of fakeness appeared again.


Wtf?

I've had something similar happen before, some random popup telling me I needed to run it's scan or my computer would die or something, but I closed it and it never came back. Looks like you need to find various things to scan your PC with and try to find the problem?

Yo guys thank you for your answers, I do run a nice set of antivir / antispy on my system.

This blog was more about me ranting against garena and their "viral" advertisment policy, or whatever one may call it.

Hahaha that virus gave up so easily? lol

I had a problem like this, the same icon in the tasktray when you lower your firewall (a red shield with an X) would keep flashing and say "Your computer is infected. Would you like to run a FREE scan?" Obviously this shit is fake and I desperately tried to remove it but then eventually I had to ask somebody via HiJackThis to fix it. Took forever, zlob trojan is hard as hell to remove :T
