Went to the site this morning, Norton blocked a "fake scan webpage", every time you navigate, it tries to install..

fun. I have fixed about 12 computers in the last month with the dubious "XP Antivirus 2008/2009". Sounds like the same crap is trying to install on your pc from their site. Just can't trust the internet these days.... :P

I saw that crap on my laptop last night. It popped up on my wife when she was doing something. Even after you cancel, it persists and is a pain to get rid of.

Diddo- My PC at home is having the same BS "Antivirus 2009" issues. I've tried to get it off but no luck <_<

As of now, I'm just using Firefox and it isn't a problem, but the moment I use IE, it persistantly pops up all the frickin' time! I even removed IE and it still shows as a warning when I start up. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

download this, run the quick scan, be done with XP antivirus crap

before this tool, it was searching for registry entries and dll files, so trust me, this thing works like a charm.
