Andy

Hey there:
I continue to receive a pop up that says, " Attention, some dangerous trojan
horses detected in your system. Microsoft Windows XP files corrupted. This
may lead to the destruction of important files in C:\windows. Download
protection software now!"
Click ok to download the antispyware. (Recommended)

I am computer illiterate and need help getting rid of this problem. My
computer currently already have Lavasoft AD-Aware SE professional, but still
receiving the pop up. please help

Andy;

Undoubtedly, you do have some malware on your system and it's probably from
the very people that made that message popup on your system, but you're
reporting this to Microsoft's Windows Defender forums, which you aren't
using as far as I can tell. Don't be scammed into buying any additional
spyware removal products, but the place you should be asking for help with
this is from Lavasoft, particularly with the Pro version installed:

Hello Andy,


In addition to Dave's excellent advice, please submit such suspicious files
to the Microsoft Malware Protection Center:
<https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/submit.aspx>


Also, I'd suggest If you have a root-kit detector installed, try F-Secure
Online Virus Scanner:
<http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml>

Download and Install – Superantispyware - (Free)
<http://www.superantispyware.com/supe....html?rid=3132>

Run Ewido (now known as AVG Anti-Spyware) Online

Also have a look to this URLs provided by Dave M.

And I'll add:

Microsoft has free help from Product support services for issues of Viruses
or spyware, or issues relating to security patches.

In the U.S. or Canada call 1-866-pcsafety.

Elsewhere call the local number for paid support and ask for the free help
as outlined above--the call may not be toll-free, but there's no charge for
the help.

Since you are replying to a message in which I recommended calling
Microsoft, you can probably guess that I would make that recommendation
again.
