Hey, for some reason I keep getting this same virus. I guess its in the programs im downloading or somthing, because I reformat all the time and install the same programs.. What it does, is I will be on myspace.com and the window will just close and it will open this window, i will post a screenshot. And it did this last time and it was actually a pretty bad virus, it wasnt letting me get past the login screen, i had to start windows in like debug mod to do a quick reformat. Please tell me what kind of programs to downlad and which logs to post. I would really appriciate some help guys. I just wanna know how I keep getting the same virus, all the softwar I download is from there homepage. The last software that i installed, not that it matters.. was UTorrent.. Heres my screenshot..

That's a personal antivirus alert.

Rogue antispyware.

Malwarebytes Antimalware can remove it, but seeing as you are always reinfected you need to look at what it is you are downloading.

And the fact that social sites like Facebook and myspace and others are under attack and have script viruses and other crap on the sites so I'd be very careful to where i went and get some real-time, self up-dating virus and adware/spyware protection
