Fake Virus Warning Popup

[rwinegar]

I know this is an old chestnut. But none of the standard methods work.

When clicking on links in Google searches I keep getting this annoying popup "Message from webpage - Your computer is at risk of malware attacks. We recommend you to...........Press OK to start the process now".

I understand the consequences of following these directions.

I have performed full scans with Malware Bytes, Panda Cloud AV, Trojan Remover, Trend Micro House Call. All come back clean and tell me I have no malware. I know that I have to be infected with something. Googling for an answer only results in links to companys that want to sell me more malware removal tools.

I am desperate. Does anyone know how to get rid of this thing?

Per advice received on a different support forum, I ran Vipre Rescue. It quarenteened one registry key. I then ran numerous Google searches and clicked on about 50 links. I did not get a single fake virus popup. I THINK this may have fixed the problem.

It's hard to believe that Malware Bytes, Panda Cloud, Trend Micro Housecall, McAfee Free Scan, and Trojan remover all missed this.

You can bet that I will remember Vipre Rescue if this ever happens again.
