Recently a pop up came up while i was on the site .allmusicguide.com and bebo:rolleyes: and a pop up came up saying
"NOTICE! You have not completed the scan. If your computer has tracks of all adult sites you have visited and files that get installed by themselves while you browsing, it can violate your online privacy and could compromise your career and marriage. you need to clean up all the temporary and history records of your computer to remove these tracks.
Would you like to install DriveCleaner to scan for and, if found, remove these browsing tracks now?(Recommended)
OK Cancel"
I clicked the red x/close button at the top right of the window. I dont know if it downloaded, to my knowledge i dont think it did, but im not sure.
After that i downloaded "XoftSpy" the free version that only scans and doesnt remove items, and it said after i did a full scan, under a list it said Vendor
Agent Trojan
Adware.LinkMaker
PCTattleTale
then i read reports that Xoftspy was a rogue application, and i uninstalled it.
Now i dont know what to do, and if my PC is infected, could you please tell me what to do and what you would do?
