I didn't buy it or d/l it. Well, manually.
When the windeow updater thing updated, it installed it. Well, I think it did. Since I saw the update icon.
Its called Vista Antispyware 2010.

Hisaki_Kage Uninstall it. It's a fake program. http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-vista-antispyware-2010.html -Looks on site- How reliable is that site? Or, actually how reliable is Spyware Doctor? Because I swear it's the same one that messes my computer in the past. Same with....Spybot or whatever that was recommended in another removal site my friend found.....ugh. Stuff like this just makes me hate technology.

Oh, Don't download whatever they're telling you to download. lol, just remove the program.
But ya, if that vista antispyware 2010 program is causing problems and not allowing you onto the internet, I would uninstall it.
Don't download anything from that site... > _ > I'm just posting it to show you that other people are having issues with it as well... I sent you a pm with something I think you should add to your computer, and I trust that one the most. Just make sure you remove the program that you are currently/uninstall the program.

Only problem is that I need to download the program in order to remove this program.
Since I just checked and it's not showing itself on the uninstall program list in the control panel thing. So I have no way of uninstalling it.
omg. why is this so annoying. -Hits head on table-

Then just try to download the one I gave you the link to in your pm... that should take care of it... if it allows you to download it that is. > _ > ; Cuz if its not in the uninstall/change program listing... then it shouldn't be on your computer.
D:< I HATE THIS CRAP! LOL! Damn fake software that attaches self to stupid computer. That's why I set it on my computer so it has to ask me permission and show me what its downloading and stuff and I can be all: NO COMPUTER. I DONT WANT THAT. And it goes: KAY!

Might just do that and hope for the best. Though might do it tomorrow. Since Im gona go bed in a bit. And I don't want to stay up and wait for it if it decides to take forever.
Actually, I told my housemate and they said they would call a friend of his and ask about it. But if I dont get answer, then I'll try that site. And if that wont work......I will throw this damn laptop on the floor when the stupid alert comes up -Cough- I will take it to the IT Clinic on campus whenever it decides to open and beg that they will help me. >>;
Tell me about it. scream Stupid alerts that pops up every 24 seconds. (Yes I counted...) And worst is the pop up stuff saying this has been infected blah blah blah. Makes me paranoid even though the site clearly says that it's fake alerts and theres (probably) nothing infecting it.
Mine 'usually' ask me before it downloads itself. Usually. But for some reason this one didn't. Damn sneaky little.... stare

How about hitting it with a hammer? I know. I'm probably gona think about it the whole night and until I get it sorted. Cause if even the site don't help, then I don't even know how long I will have to wait for the IT Clinic since I don't think they are open yet. Though I not too sure about that.
