Antivirus System Pro Is Making Its Rounds

Over this past weekend a family member was going to a website that she normally visits and usually has no problems with when BOOM! Antivirus System Pro starts popping up all over the place. Initially we tried running the task manager to just terminate the process but we then received a pop up indicating that the TASK MANAGER was infected and asked if we want to purchase this program now.

In a case such as this, it's best to not try and close any of the pop up windows, try to tell it no or anything else. Shut the computer down and go in to safemode. From safemode you can usually run the needed tools fairly easily and remove the infection within a couple of hours.
