Those are just a few of the messages I get, and it won’t let me browse using Internet Explorer anymore. I have Windows Live for my security and virus protection, and I did a complete computer scan to remove anything harmful that might have been there. I still have 6 months left on my subscription, and the software is up-to-date. But the Vista Antispyware is still showing those messages and preventing me from accessing the internet. So I downloaded Mozilla Firefox from my brother’s computer and installed it onto my computer, and it works just fine. But the threatening messages are still there! And I can’t delete Internet Explorer from my computer. The Vista Antispyware wants me to buy into their subscription, but I don’t want to because the Windows Live one is still working and covers 3 computers in my home at a better price.
What should I think or do? Is it true and maybe the Windows Live software can’t detect it? It’s really annoying because it pops up warning messages every few minutes and sometimes gives very convincing names of certain threats that is apparently trying to access my computer at that moment. The Vista Antispyware icon is sitting in the notification area, and I can’t delete it. It’s nowhere in the Control Panel, and I can’t right click it. When I follow some of the prompts, it always lead me to a webpage to buy into its subscription, and I can’t navigate anywhere in Internet Explorer. HELP!!!
