Go here http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php download the program and install it. ITS VERY GOOD! The only difference between the free one and the paid version is scheduled scanning and realtime scanning. Install it, run it and smile when its finished :-) regards scott p.s used spybot and it missed what this found.....result! Unknown has caused an error in unknown and unknown needs to restart.

scottyuk30 is correct. You don't have a virus. You have the FAKED symptoms put there by what is called a rogue anti-malware program. Their intention is to pester you into downloading their software, scanning your system, and then you having to buy the program in order to get rid of what it finds. If you do buy their program, of course, the FAKED symptoms disappear, because it was them who placed them there it the first place! The anti-malware program is legitimate, it's quality varying from OK to poor, but their agressive deceptive methods of trying to get you to buy their software are frowned upon. Most anti-malware programs don't get rid of it or the symptoms of it. You need to run something that does - Malwarebytes in this case (I got rid of the same thing as you have on a friend's system by using it), and you will probably also need to run SmitFraudFix. For more info, see response 6 in this: http://www.computing.net/answers/wi... starting at: "If that results in Windows at least loading, you can then run Malwarebytes and SmitFraudFix" ...... You are frequently told by various programs and instructions to turn off System Restore when you are trying to get rid of malware. I have come across information that says there are many Microsoft experts and other experts now recommend you DO NOT do that until AFTER you have removed whatever malware you have, their reasoning being: - you cannot be infected or re-infected by any malware that is in your System Restore restore points unless you deliberatly load an infected restore point - it's essentially inert if that's where it is. - anti-malware programs sometimes have bugs in them, e.g. Spybot and AdAware certainly have had in the past many times - and they remove something they should not have removed. In some cases you can't fix the problems the buggy anti-malware program caused without re-loading Windows unless you have System Restore turned on and a previous restore point to load. Even when there are some infected restore points, there are often others that are not infected you can load. If you want to turn off System Restore after having got rid of the malware and you're sure your system is back to normal, because some of the restore points are infected, that's fine.

Malwarebytes is an excellent choice, but I think you should do as the others have said first and boot in to Safe Mode to run your other scanning options. These malware attacks are designed to scare the user is not purchasing something that they don't actually need. If the malware disguises itself as a Windows error and tells you that you need to upgrade to this or that, many users will take it as gospel. Don't go clicking on the ads or trying to download anything that a pop-up has recommended as helpful. It'll only make it worse! http://www.pcfixreview.com
