This program called "Windows 7 Avista" keeps giving me warnings on my computer, saying it is about to get hijacked and is full of viruses such as Trojan, worms, and other security threats. It wants me to register and purchase a virus cleanup that costs 79 bucks. Every time I try to turn up my volume on my computer, it always pops up. I've never downloaded Windows 7 Avista, and when I open up my antivirus system to scan my computer, no threats come up. I am so confused and this is annoying. Can anyone tell me what to do or how to fix this? (link)
DO NOT open a virus scan with that program, it's a virus itself. I had the same thing happen to me a couple times on my laptop with a different "Virus scan" popping up.
You probably have a bad virus in your computer that your virus scans aren't strong enough to find. You should bring your computer to a local computer/virus person (Or have someone come over) Those people always have the best virus scans and they can download them on to your computer for you to use in the future. They cost money, but if this virus is the same thing I had, you want to get rid of it asap. In a few days you won't even be able to use that computer without having 5 pop-ups come up every second. And I'm not exaggerating.
