!!!WINBLUESOFT!!!
My daughter has given me her notebook thats running XP Pro and Iv tried
McAfee all the way thru to CCLEANER but this WINBLUESOFT still persists to pop up every few minutes or so. It has the system thinking that it doesnt have any antivirus software installed on the thing. Within "Security essentials" under "Virus Protection" it starts off saying "WinBlueSoft reports that it is turned off... Blah blah blah". & when the "Recommendations" button is clicked it has in the popup window... "Register the WinBlueSoft antispyware to clean your computer and prevent new security and privacy attacks." Would someone be able to point me in the right direction to get this crap off of this thing?? THANX N ADVANCE Wayne B. |
