I booted my laptop and one of those stupid phony virus scanners popped up. I let someone use my laptop at work so I am guessing that is where I got the stupid thing. I was on it last night but didn't go on any site I don't usually visit. Anyway, I got irritated because of course all my software was disabled with the fake infected messages. I left it and went to do some other things and when I came back it seems to be gone. There is no icon in the tray. The internet works. Hijack This, msconfig, superantispyware all work. So how did the computer fix itself? All I have on it is MS security essentials. I want to make sure it is clean before rebooting.
