You are infected with WinWeb security a bogus antivirus software which produces false reports and attempts to have you purchase WinWeb security. You need to remove it. Instructions can be found here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-winweb-security |
As i understand it this virus has been renamed system security 4.5. i tried all of the suggested solutions to no avail, including pulling up the task window and deleting. For me it did not work. i tried to down load mc affee and it kept logging off aol and internet explorer ( i tried downloading on both systems) eventually i found windows live one care through the microsoft site, so that i knew it was genuine and had no problem downloading. it worked ,i was left with a small square blue and white icon whichi put into the recycle bin. as a bonus i have th windows one care on three months trial and do not have to pay anything until the three months expire. i supposew i could decide not to go ahead with the purchase but this system seems to be so good it would be daft not to. note you do need to remove any external spyware and the like before you download. the srcurity settting that come with your system do not need to be removed or settings change. to be sure that all is ok go to control panel and click on security and it will give the status of the three settings firewall antivirus etc. hope this is useful |
I recently had this worm. After attempting all the suggested remadies, to no avail, all I did was click the decline or the X. I did this for about 2 or 3 weeks then it didn't appear anymore. This worm is just a scam for people to purchase useless software in the amount of $45.00.

I had this problem and finally got rid of it by going into safe mode (restart computer; before it loads hit F8; when safe mode screen appears, hit enter) In Safe Mode, I then updated my Adaware program and ran it. Adaware got rid of the spyware and my antivirus program and all other programs functioned again. I then got out of safe mode and ran my Adaware program three more times and scan with my Trend Micro Antivirus program two more times. Everything is working fine again. |

The correct way to get rid of this pesty pop up and to get ur computer back to the way it was before. shut down computer. Restart, hit f8 before load up. This will take you to safe mode and don`t freak out cause everything will appear large. This will enbale you to get to restore of your computer. Restore computer to earlier date, before this sucker attacked ur computer. This should fix it.

Thanks to whoever figured out that booting in SAfe-mode was the way to go.
