I was on Facebook yesterday and something called Internet Security popped up claiming that I have viruses, worms, and trojans on my computer. What is it and how can I uninstall it?

    You wouldn’t have that problem if you used a Mac.

    Hi

    Download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware from here:

    http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

    Install it, update it and then let it do a full system scan. It will remove the rogue software off your computer.

    DON’T leave it any longer or log on to any other site until you remove this crapware program, as this so-called “antivirus” can steal your login details, hog all available resources of your PC and screw with your computer in the worst ways imaginable (it killed my friend’s motherboard after he ignored it for a month).

    If they are just called ‘internet security’ then it’s prob fake. If it’s NORTON internet security then it’s not fake.

    Btw your computer is probably infected with adware so install ad-aware, spybot S&D, malwarebytes anti malware and NOD32. That should get the job done.
