is to have sufficient protection so much as my one and only security software Microsoft Security Essentials
l download Microsoft Security Essentials for my windows 7 but later unintentionally downloaded McAfee Security scan plus.
Don't know why this link does not work... McAfee must have fired or their FAQ is under review.
The Development should work... and you can uninstall/remove the application after that you are through using it.
Here are a few suggestions of Stephen Boots, moderator of the MSE Forum about fake antivirus programs and prevention measures General malware:
Unfortunately, this type of malware attacks are difficult to follow because they fool you by letting them install. They usually come to an infected web site and usually an advertisement. You get a pop up of infection and click on it to close the window pop up that allows you to install infection. They can also be provided in a "drive-by" mode without any action required by the user due to the system being unpatched, any security software is running.
When you encounter one of these fake virus pop - up during navigation, immediately do the following:
-Do not touch any window of browser to close or navigate away.
-Immediately, press Ctrl-Shift-Esc and bring up the Task Manager and end by force all instances of iexplore.exe, if you use Internet Explorer, or the executable for the browser you are using.
-or-
-Go to start/stop and reboot the PC without touching the browser windows.
-If you used the Task Manager to close the browser instances, restart the machine.
-Then go in the Internet/Panel control Options and delete all temporary Internet files and cookies. If you use another browser, open the browser settings to do the same - to delete the local cached files and cookies.
-Perform a full scan with your anti-malware program.
The steps above should prevent infection taking root.
In addition to using an anti-malware program, the following recommendations will help to protect the PC from infection:
S ' ensure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.
S ' ensure that all critical updates or important, including service packs for the operating system and programs are installed from Microsoft Update (Windows Update).
-Make sure that Internet Explorer is version 8 or higher and put up-to-date with all the patches.
-In Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the SmartScreen filter.
-Make sure that the Internet IE security settings are at least put to fire medium-high (default).
-Turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.
-On Vista and Windows 7 make sure that thatUser Account Control (UAC) and doesn't work with elevated privileges.
-Make sure that automatic updates of Windows are set to notify at least, but the preferred setting is to download and install automatically. If you update manually, be sure to update as soon as possible after being informed of updates available.
-Make sure that installed applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and Java are at their latest versions. Many vendors are regularly updated and fixes security vulnerabilities.
-Never click through links from unknown sources and be careful, even if they are from a "reliable".
-Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mail.
Good luck...

I have a Fujitsu with Windows vista by Windows defender. My provider is Talk Talk and they provide secure F. My! St question is do I really both.
This time Defender tells me everything is going well. But sure F tells me "from viruses and spies malfunction' when I took the road that I am not able to turn it, if I click on tour, nothing happens and the alert does not go far. All of the suggestions.
* original title - confuses security *.
Windows Defender is the base defense that is provided with Windows. This is where if you have the defense long enough to get a real anti-virus program. If nothing else you should get Microsoft Security Essentials for free here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-CA/security_essentials/default.aspx
It will offer a lot more security than the Defender.
I also recommend getting (also free) malwarebytes from www.malwarebytes.org who is a good anti-malware for the MSE scanner may not be able to find little things.

I chose optimum, it is has had warned only that data will be permanently erased, there was no estimate of the time, I had to do, I did. After 22-23 hours of waiting, he did. And the optimum had 6 cycles of option. He showed the result below.

The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.
Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
