windows pc defender

I have been getting weird pop ups from windows pc defender telling me that my
computer has been invaded. When I proceed to clear the virus, I am face with
a charge and a new system. Also my McAffee won't open. I ran mcAffee tech
but still get the popup. Is this legit from Windows pc defender or a virus.
Any experiencing the same. Thanks

Your computer is very possibly infected with a variant of AntiVirus
2009. If you are technically inclined we can point you to some online
resources that may help you. Otherwise, I would seriously recommend
showing your computer to a professional.

Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It is called "rogue"
because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!

Look for removal steps here Bleeping Computer removal how-to's -

or here - Malwarebytes malware removal guides - http://tinyurl.com/5xrpft

Malwarebytes' Anti-malware (MBAM) or SuperAntiSpyware will often do the job.
Both have free versions and you do not need to purchase these programs.

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the
computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected
by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.

If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the
specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of
Windows. It is your choice. Or you can take your machine to a local computer
professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of
places.
