I have no idea about computers and as far as i was aware i had antivirus and antispyware but i just got this huge message saying to clean my system bcos it has infections!!!!!!
can i download something from somewhere to clean the system??????
I ran a check and ...well lets just say i have nooooo idea what im meant to be looking at!!!!
I run my spyware thing and it say s i have problems that need to be fixed....so i press "fix problems" and i then says i haver to pay for something to fix!!!
if the message about buying something is related to the link that originaly says you have problems then its advertising and a big scam. just get rid of it. if the message didnt come from your antivirus then definitley ignore it.
Yep thats just a ad. Don't worry about it, your computer should be fine.
A good program to download is malware bytes as it works wonders along side an antispyware and antivirus program
link Just click on download free version on the left hand side.
Dont put in your credit card info its a scam! one of my friends just did it (stupid stupid boy) and of course it charged him all sorts of random things and had to get new c/c number etc and it also put a virus on his comp.
*edit thats if it is just a pop up, not a message coming from your actually antivirus. You shouldnt have to pay anything with avast free version
