I had the same thing happen to me just a few minutes ago and about an hour ago. I ran my Avast AV, and it didn't show any viruses. Where did WinDefender come from anyway?? I've been trying to find that program on my computer, but can't find it. The only indication that it might be there is when Avast sent an alarm that it found a virus. When I ran Avast, it didn't show that it found anything. Now I don't know what to do. I wonder if this is something to worry about.....Maggie
I'm getting a popup about my PC not having internet protection software and the site it directs to is something like internetscannerlive_com (http). I'm deliberately changing the url here. This is happening with both IE and FF and only when entering the Cnet forums site. I've tried browsing all over the web and don't see it. Once I hit Cnet, within a couple of clicks I'm getting the popup. I cannot exit this. Anything I click brings up something about WinDefender and performs a bogus scan of my system finding dozens of threats that Norton, Spybot and Hijackthis don't see...nor does the real Windows defender. I'm hoping this is a problem with Cnet and not my PC. Gonna shut down the rig and try again tomorrow.
