Windows Vista Experts: How can I get a warning off my status bar?

My hubby logged on to an adult site, which he said was "free." Now we have this flashing warning that tells us we have a "probable" chance of getting a virus. We have McAfee, so I know the computer is protected. (Protected Mode is On). You can close this warning off, but it pops up all the time. Don't know how to get it off. There is more than one site doing this. I'm sure my hubby clicked OK instead of "no." There have been various virus scan software that I've had to delete or uninstall. Do I have to download the free trial and uninstall? Or will I have to keep doing this?

I'd guess that an adware/spyware installed on your computer when he went to that site. And, that adware is trying to get you to act on the ad by scaring you about a "probable" virus.

First, I'd recommend that you do not click on it at all. Second, do you have McAfee anti-virus or Security Suite (which includes anti-spy)? Because you'll need to run an anti-spy program to get rid of what's on your computer. You could run your Windows Defender to see if that will clear it. There are also other free anti-spy programs you could run, such as AVG:

Porn sites put nasty stuff on your pc. You could clean it with anti-spyware ( http://www.microsoft.com/protect/compute... ) and anti-virus software ( http://www.grisoft.com/doc/download-free... ) but I wouldn't use the pc for any financial services (shopping online, banking) before I'd reinstalled windows from scratch. Also, McAfee sucks. Having it installed will not protect you.
