My Computer Has A Bug :-(
About 4 days ago my computer started acting funny. I turned it on and started getting weird pop ups saying that somene was trying to attack my computer or something and infect it with.... a virus or something. Some pop ups say that Windows blocked the virus and some say that I have the virus and have to remove it. The weird thing is I think these pop ups are PART of the virus. It says... Virus Name: Worm.Win32.NetBooster2 Path: C:/Windos/system32/qappsrv.exe
i couldn't find the path in my computer so i think the pop pup has that path name to make itself sem believable because i do have a system32 folder.
Anyway... I'm not sure how we got the virus. We don't go to dirty websites... We have an anti virus or scanner or... well I am not sure what it is. It scans and is supposed to remove threats but it is very crappy. I think it's a pirated version of an anti scanner. it doesn't work well but I know it's not the CAUSE of the virus because we've had it for some time. At first it detected the virus but not anymore :-(
Anyway, I don't care how we got it. I just want to get rid of it already because I can't even use the computer. It makes my homepage a.... virus isolator page and keeps sending me op ups, even when I'm offline!
My friend said it was a bug cause he had one too and that he fixed it by finding the bug and stopping it,. I couldn't find it. And I tried going to the "task manager" but it is disabled and no way to enable it...
I was wondering, has anyone ever had this virus/bug or know anything about it? if yes, how did you get rid of it?
does anyone know of a free anti virus or virus scna i can load or anyway to get rid of this bug???
Please help me!
Thank you for your time.

The popup itself is adware. The alert is not real. They just want you to buy their useless "antivirus". See my guide here:

download install and run spybot
