  Right on, been dealing with this stupid message for the last few weeks. The first program that actually made sense enough for me to wrap my IT challenged brain around.
  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I tried all my virus removers with no luck and also what was suggested above but it could not be found anywhere. The only thing that removed it completely and left my system clean and running faster than ever was adware cleaner.
