virus

[matt21]

running nod32 antivirus which is pretty good. just detected a virus which has been blocked but i keep pressing terminate and I keep getting a security warning and real antivirus with following link appearing

is this genuine if I click free check or is it all part of the virus con.

computer is ok apart from this.

don't click the link although the pop up probably means its too late anyway...

oh and please don't ask people if dubious links are ok because some darn fool will click to see what you are on about and the mods won't be happy..
