| 1283041 | 2012-06-20 11:30:00 | Hi, I constantly get this message "System Security Firewall has blocked a program from accessing the internet. Internet Explorer is infected with worm". I don't think it is a real security message, but I can't get rid of it. Can someone please tell me how to stop it? |

Download, update and run Spybot, Malwarebytes, Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, MS Security Essentials, all of which are free. Malwarebytes gives a very lengthy summary which you'll need to copy and paste into another message here in order to get further advice on which bits can be removed. |
