Well, I don't know what my husband did, but all of a sudden he started shouting, Our Security is off, our firewalls are off, we don't have virus protection".

I knew immediately what was happening. I told him "this is a virus that is downloading itself to our computer". He must have clicked on a download update thing or something.

Sure enough on the bottom right of my computer is the icon for XP Security 2011. I just googled it, and I was right. It's a malicious trojan thing.

It's still there on the bottom right of my computer.

If anyone can enlighten me how to get this thing off besides doing what I'm now doing, I would appreciate it.

I am now running Super Professional Anti-Spyware, and after that I'll run Malwarebytes.

But I hope this thing goes away.

I don't know why this man insists on going to those stupid game sites. He doesn't know how to view these things as threats. He really thinks these pop up alerts are the real deal.

Good Lord.
