My computer has been taken o9ver by something called a win32 false alert that mimics Widows Security. I'm doing this on my crappy notebook. Anyone will someone google this and see what the fix is? I have scanned with Avast abd now it's taken over. Even Safe Mode is hijacked.Rodger
Google it! There's a fix, but you have to do it yourself to a large extent. I had it and got rid of it by following the directions I found through google -- an I'm no computer expert. Took about an hour to do. You will have to download a couple of specific apps for the purpose, but it did work for me.

For some reason, this hasn't happened on the Linux boxen here...
I got hit with a similar one recently and only Malwarebytes would get rid of it. The free version works great.

Here is a webpage that has a number of "LiveCDs" from AVG and other antivirus makers to clean your pc without booting from the main drive:

THANK YOU ALL! Got it fixed.
Considering that some of the computer critters install executable icons that are only a few pixels in size, your current critter might have layed in wait until the moment you happened to click on that spot.
