Antivirus 2008 I had the same thing happen to me. The pop up kept poping up on computer. They are the biggest scam, ripoffs and liers, on the internet. Nationwide
The pop-ups kept poping up on my computer. It said that I could not go any further unless I purchase the antispyware or virus. It started to scan for viruses without me telling it to, and it downloaded it self to my computer.
After it scanned for about a half an hour, it saids to get rid of this infection I would have to pay 80.00. So i did because I wanted to get rid of my virus.
It did nothing, it said it was the wrong code no matter how many times I put it in, it was always the wrong code.
I tried calling any e-mailing them several times. It said thier mailbox is full. Of course it full because they are so busy scamming people.
Please shut them down. This is a major intrusion on my computer.
Let me know when they are shut down. These people are making money by scamming people.

Sorry to say you're a victim of Malware

I'm sorry to tell you that you're a victim of Malware. What happened was a virus (trojan) was downloaded to your computer. The message box that kept popping up was part of the program. I was nearly a victim of the same thing. These types of programs are tough to eridicate from your system. There are multiple steps needed, so if your handy with computers go to the forum section of one of the larger anti-virus sites and look up Malware (McAffe has very good forum support). For the most part you might be able to purge your system without spending any more money. If you're not handy with computers, it might cost a bit to have someone remove the offending program from the system.
I would also cancel the c-card you used to "purchase" the anti-spy ware.
Good luck.
