261605 2004-08-14 05:11:00 Is www.XpVirusClean.com genuine?
I keep getting a pop-up message from them to say I'm infected. I know I had something that re-started computer when I ran both AVG & Norton. Several system recoverys later I can now complete AVG and have no virus message.
Thanks in advance
Jock
PS have just dialled up to post this and got the same message from www.VirusWash.net

261607 2004-08-14 06:00:00 Its Adware probably getting in via Windows Messenger service.

Visit
www.grc.com

and "shoot the messenger" to stop it.

Its just advertising I believe, and does not actually imply that you are infected.

261608 2004-08-14 06:13:00 Thanks for the link, I'm going there next but it's true, AVG has found padobot.v in a sys32 temp i'net file but can't quarantine it. Anyone know a good vermicide? jockT (3500)

But that will not be the reason for the pop-up messages, just a coincidence.
