Hi,

I have an icon in the system tray on the bottom right of the screen, that blinks with a question mark, and a popup comes up regularly saying 'System Alert' and wanting to redirect me to a webpage advertising an antimalware named AntiVermins. Seems pretty difficult to get rid of. Can I get help with this?

Scott
