I have something that says ' XP internet Explorer warning: visiting this site may pose a threat to your system ' and I want to get rid of it

I've got something that says it's "XP Internet Security 2012 Alert and also Firewall alert". It won't let me take my Internet and says the programs I'm trying to get to pose a security risk — software malware, worms, Trojans, hackers etc... It does not interfere with things like my Microsoft Works or photographs, just at the moment where I'm trying to go up on my browser. I have no idea how to get rid of him, he wants me to buy a product that I didn't need and I really get annoyed because I rely on my computer for many things. Anyone know what I can do?

First of all, the program asks you to purchase their product is a scam - it's actually the problem and a form of malware.

Rogue Security Software | False Virus Alerts. Scareware:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/antivirus-rogue.aspx

The two programs are probably tied or one-in-the-same problem, see

How to remove XP Internet Security 2012?

How to remove System Security Firewall Alert?

Then you will need to run a full scan with your programs anti-virus and anti-spyware to ensure that you have been able to remove the malicious software and you have no other. I would also say to running analyses by the following:

Microsoft safety scanner
 http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Malwarebytes
 http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

SUPERAntiSpyware
 http://www.SUPERAntiSpyware.com/

Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free tool to scan on demand and ends 10 days after it is downloaded.

Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware are also free and are excellent tools for on-demand scan.

I hope this helps.

    I have a user account, but the type is standard user... I can't create an administrator user... because when I press on it see something that says that WINDOWS needs YOUR permission TO CONTINUE to create... Fix this please...

    To create an administrator account, you must be...
    (1.) an administrator
    (2.) to connect to the existing administrator account, or in possession of an administrator password.
    If you do not have all of the above, forget it.

    When the system asked you for permission, you should click on continue or enter the Admin password. If you could not do either, it means that you don't have administrative rights to do what you want.

  • When we look something up on the internet, I'm always redirected 4to7 times before I get the page I'm after. What is a virous and how do I get rid of him?

    When I try to go on the internet, after you type in a subject, I get the usual list of items to the choice. But when I try to select one of them, I redirected sometimes up to 8 times before iget the page I want. I redirected pages yellow and many other sites that have nothing to do with what I am looking upward. If it is avirous how can I get rid of him.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
