iRipI just went to http://goluckydonald.blogspot.comThe web page loaded; then it redirected to:http://www1.bestsoftbrizon.net My AVG blocked it, and provided the full address.When I looked at my history I see they use another address:www.bestsoftawpung.netI'm thinking Google has to remove the malware, since it is a Google web site; right?I took screen shots of all this stuff and can send as attachments.AVG stated:Exploit Rogue Scanner (type 1418)Details:Internet ExplorerProcess ID 5696Thank you,Wolfman

DON'T CLICK ANYTHING!!this is a common scam that says your computer is infected with malwareif you click anything it will infect you with rouge antivirusto stop it press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to launch task manager. then go to the processes tab and end anything named iexplore.exe or firefox.exe.this will force all internet browsers to close then open them up again and do not restore your browsing session

Hi- Just had same thing come up on my laptop. Followed your advice and went to Task Manager>processes and found 2 IEXPLORE.EXE in the list. However when i clicked end process i got a warning message saying ending process may upset the op system. Is it still safe for me to go ahead and end these items?

cais222Please see Tech 32 above. I can verify that my brother followed his instructions, got rid of the malware, and there were no consequences.

Hi WW--Thanks for reply. Just to let you know after i contacted you i ran a full Ad-Aware scan and then ran CC Cleaner. When i went back to the Task Manager today to end the 2 processes i found both items had disappeared from the list !!!!!

I'm pleased at your results. Someone else may benefit from your experience.It's nice to be able to publish information on forums like this.http://goluckydonald.blogspot.comhttp://goluckydonald.newsvine.com
