I’m getting one of those annoying pop ups that looks like windows firewall telling me that I have a virus. When I click fix, it sends me to a webpage to buy antivirus software but from some unknown company. I’ve ran mcafee after updating it, and it finds nothing.
Also, when the popup came up, i went to task manager and selected the task, then selected “go to process” and it was fcluavg.exe. I did a search on that with no hits. I then selected “show file location” and it was in a folder in my %appdata folder but it wouldn’t let me delete it.
Do I need to get a different antivirus program?

Try using an anti-spyware program like Spyware Doctor which is now free.
