Crumpy Gunt Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 http://update.windowssettings.org/2/update.php I keep getting this 'pop-up' every 3/4 hrs. It auto starts my Internet Browser and is a complete pain in the arse. Doesn't seem to do anything just popup and be there. I have serious doubts as to it being a genuine windows application as when I sent my mate the link his computer detected it as not safe to open. It seems to have arrived last week when I got infected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Got McAfee running and have done about 4 or 5 sweeps with Malwarebytes (which cured my virus problem) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
