Comment: When I turn on my computer the following messages pop up: VCClient.exe VCMain.exe application error a a run time error has occurred And after that another box appears and it says: ''Security Alert A security problem has been found Alexa has been found on your computer. Alexa web search is a search engine. It combines the Google search engine with Alexa's site information and puts all inside an Amazon.com interface. A registry key creates a menu item that points to local web page, which then points to a MSN search page that uses the Alexa search engine. Would you like to remove this parasite from your computer?'' And when I try to surf a ton of pops appear one after the other. I've tried AVG trendmicro online scan and it doesn't fix a thing. Can someone please help me?

Reply: (edit)I forgot to add that I'm also getting a dyfica trojan alert from AVG. But it won't get rid of it. It know it's present but it doesn't do a thing about it. Any solutions?

Reply: (edit)I've tried using everything in safe mode and it did catch a few things but I still get this message whenever I start the computer: ''Security Alert A security problem has been found Alexa has been found on your computer.
