Pop Ups and "Security Alerts"?

I keep getting these "security alerts" stating that I have some type of virus trying to get into my computer. But when I click on them, it just takes me to an advertisement for an antivirus product. I also keep getting random ads popping up for antivirus products and such, when I am not even using the internet. I have Norton 360, so I am not worried about getting infected. I just need to know how to get rid of these annoying little things. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Pop Ups and "Security Alerts"?spyware removal

The FIRST thing to do is DISABLE System Restore.

If enabled, this allows malware to hide in the computer and re-install itself.

To disable it, RIGHT-click on "My Computer." Select "Properties" then under the 'System Restore' tab, check 'Turn off system restore' IF not already checked.

The next most helpful things that would help you are to use ONLINE scanners from websites to remove any malware on your PC.

The current best online scanners I prefer are from Kaspersky antivirus and Bitdefender antivirus. Together, these 2 scanners will find ALL the bad stuff on your PC because they have the BEST detection rate.

First, use Kaspersky's. (FYI: ALL these scans require you to agree to a EULA and install an activex control which is needed to perform the scan, so agree to them all.)
