I got a pop up ad appear.
:
I called the number, but I don't give any personal information. While the guy told me the code to download the system, I hung up. Should I be worried? All I have while on the phone was force quit safari, press SHIFT and safari and enter the website the guy said to enter.
If you don't disclose any personal and financial information or allow criminals access to the computer, you should be fine.
To refer to all this popup will be a scam. Do not respond.

Protection - pop up box appears asking me to buy Security Shield for $80
I can't access my internet. Should I buy a protection? I get spyware protection faults. A pop-up window appears asking me to buy protection? Can you help me with a time of protection?
Well, there's probably no need to buy something when something else that is similar or better are available free of charge.
the question is what do you have installed on your computer Security Shield nagware grafted on.
you say also that you have little or no control over the computer, so you can have the scoop installed hostage.
what you can try is a test drive of your vista by booting it upward in "safe mode with networking"
then see if vista and internet explore in the middle of the safe mode behaves better than normal mode.
If Yes, then you can either run a restore point from the system or boot. (we'll show you how)

Win 7 64 professional. on Gigabit P45T-ES3G, cpu: Intel E8400, 8GiB ram, controller Ethernet Realtek 8111 / 8168B.
Initial symptom: cannot access network - that is to say everything that is connected to the Ethernet port... System worked OK for months. Problem started
little by little, but is now 100% failure. Checked the TCP/IPv4 properties and is set to addr IP 192.168.1.105, subnet 255.255.255.1 gateway default 192.168.1.1 and server preferred DNS 8.8.8.8 alternate 8.8.4.4.
Ran a LiveCD of PCLINUX 2012.2 on the machine, all the functions of the Ethernet (Internet and printers) are working perfectly, so material is OK.
Quite recently noted a pop-up "Cloud Backup" start-up that wants to send some kind of so-called information backup somewhere.
I can post a screenshot (png file), if I was told how to. (I have the screen shot, I downloaded on a USB - stick, and)
can send this computer). The context menu offers a "Cancel" button I choose always.
I went to msconfig and two programs found "backup" in their names: NTI BackupNow EZ and EasUS Todo backup Applications
and not both, but the popup still appears at startup. I can't find anything in the Remove Programs list that looks at it could be this.
I ran Microsoft Security Analyzer and MS malicious software removal tool, and both are nothing after full several sweeps of the hour.
I also have AVG and CCleaner, which do not complain either. Any other symptom: I think that the starting time is excessive.I would be EXTREMELY reluctant to reinstall Windows, I have some paid programs, but also a fee which has been rather difficult to install
due to its Protocol of security installation.Hi Doug,.
first of all, be careful with this clearner. I wouldn't recommend them at all. At best they delete files you want to join, at worst they are doing bad things in your registry!
Pass, you can have a few ongoing struggles (at least the potential for it) with AVG and MSE... I would recommend Malware Bytes anti-malware detection.
You are probably right to be curious, I don't know why 'cloud' would need backup.
Can you connect in safe mode?
Try this troubleshooting and let us know what happens:

The little ' [Javascript Application] and balance.balance is not defined ' pop-up window is followed by a pop up that shows a sign of prudence and the number 3. They repeatedly pop up when I click on the button OK or X, I have to click 10 times until they disappear. Then, Firefox seems to work normally until I exit and try to come back later to Firefox.
I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled without effect. I also ran a convenience store that seemed to refer to distance to this problem with no effect.
This does not happen when I load Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. Except for this issue, I prefer Firefox over one or the other.Hello, you can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If not, probably an addon intrudes here...
