    i keep getting a popup saying a win32 document or w.e it says that i can track and steal my information when using payment options, i got it when my mom was using the computer and she was clicking random things, looks like shes never using it again.

    but how may i get rid of this, i have norton internet security 2008, and on the popup it says "protect" so i clicked it and it led me to this site.

    http://www.defender-review.com/?a=111


    what can i do to get rid of it fully?
    i cant detect it in any internet scans, and i can figure out how to use norton to get rid of it :(

    try this program:

    http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php

    the defender pro is a variant of the anitvirus 2009 and smit should remove it..

    download it. extract it to a folder where you know where to find it. open the smitfraudfix.exe and choose 1 to scan and then from the list choose clean. then clean the registry when done with ccleaner (download also) you will see the options on the list. if running vista make sure to run with admin rights

    Seriously, download and install Malwarebytes from the original link posted by vinumsv in post #3. I've used that utility on a number of machines infected with a variety of spyware/malware and I can recall only one incidence of it not thoroughly cleaning it up. And SmitFraudFix worked for that one.

    This alert is a fake alert. It is not a message from the Windows Firewall. The malware file, which is popping up the alert dialog, is located here "C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Google\ocboo1892823.exe"

    Probably flagged it because the server on which it resides has been used to host at least 6 sites that were pushing hidden malware, at least according to Google safe browsing; the website itself, however, appears to be clean, according to google.

    Hi,
    Try installing free version of superantispyware and update the definition database, n scan your pc.
    Download free version from here

    http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html

    it will fix. Also its better to use Norton anti-virus 2008/2009 rather than internet security.
    download norton antivirus 2009 a 15 day trial from below n scan ur pc from it, it will fix your prob
