    This may not be a virus it may be warning you of possible danger on the site you are visiting.Check your anti virus setting they may be set on high.I suspect this is the case and for some reason it will not let you do nish.

    Hey

    You do not have a virus. This is adware and spyware that your comptuer is heavly infected with.

    At work i get alot of these comptuers.

    Best 4 programs to download and run are:

    Ad-aware - http://www.download.com/Ad-aware/3000-8022-10214379.html?tag=lst-0-2

    Spybot - http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022-10289035.html?tag=lst-0-3

    Spysweeper - http://www.download.com/Webroot-Spy-Sweeper/3000-8022-10301356.html

    Window Washer - http://www.download.com/Webroot-Window-Washer/3000-2144-10289982.html?tag=lst-0-1

    Run these programs, making sure that you update them from the program menu's before running. Run them all, and restart.

    Also, as an alternative to Internet Explorer, Firefox is a better browser and includes a Pop-up Blocker.
    http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

    Run those programs, and download Firefox and give that a try.


    Regards
