Ive just received a pop up from system security version .

It says firefox browser is infected with worm 4.51 Lsas.Blaster.Keylogger.

The worm is trying to send your Credit Card details to a Remote Host.

Asking to upgrade security.

Saying I have just under 1000 Trojans.

I know your get scams doing this, but any help appreciated.

Im running Vista Home Premium, using Anti Vir and Malware Bytes,

Ive never had a problem before using these, but was taking a :hideingbhindcurtian: at certain sites.

 

What should I do, apart from staying away from them sites.

Im running the programme above, ive checked it out, and its a trojan, and a scam for money.

This programme should sort it I think.

The system is running normally, so it might just be a pop up, as ive ran 2 anti virus. Not at the same time though.

It happened as soon as i clicked on a swedish link for Meindl boots.

Its just said it has my credit card details, but i cancelled them a week and a half ago, so it must be just a scam.

Yes Swedish boots.

No i got a pair today, and had a look on the net to see the rating but I did look on one of THOSE sites this morning by accident.

Ill try and see what happens.

Would it be wort doing a complete system restore?

Probably not. Whatever it is has installed itself, and a system restore doesn't affect installed programs.

 

It sounds like some sort of adware. I've had some myself, but it took me ages to get rid of it. I tried so many things, I can't even remember what it was that worked in the end, so I can't advise. :no:
