Hi ya'll!
Yesterday I was looking for a bike on a buy and sell site, I found a nice one and I wanted to see a bigger picture. So I searched for that bike on Google Pictures and found a good pic.
I clicked on it and then Firefox said that this site wasn't secure and I might have gotten some viruses, and Firefox wanted me to download some kind of software to remove the viruses. I thought: Well it's firefox, right? It can't be anything bad. So I downloaded it and installed the program and suddenly it told me I had 18 viruses!
But this software was weird, it looks exactly like Windows Defender, but it's called "Internet Protection," and twice a minute I get a pop-up from this program telling me that I have to buy their serial key to remove these viruses.
I already have an anti-virus program installed, Panda Global Protection so I ran a big scan of the whole system and it found NOTHING!
I have the url from where I got this thing:
DON'T GO TO THIS WEBSITE! Link Removed - Invalid URL DON'T GO TO THIS WEBSITE!
Just in case this could be of any help...
Now for the real problem!
I CAN'T REMOVE IT! it's not listed as a program in "Add or Remove a Program" in the Control Panel. It has installed itself in C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe
Please check my pictures!
So, in short, I have no viruses on my computer. But I have a fake Windows Defender called "Internet Protection" telling me that I have 18 of them. But I can't remove Internet Protection cause it's installed in C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe
Thanks in advance!
