Four virus scareware

[dr k]

A similar incident happens with system, at first i though all is gone and every time i click something a message popsup saying your system is heavily damaged by virus. On searching i found its a malware called four virus, thankfully these steps help me restore things hopefully it will help you guys

When I started this thread I new The four virus issue is scareware and becomes malware when you click on the link in it to remove it. I never clicked on it I had another SMF page open I'd click on to get away from the scareware. When you become a Premier paid member with the green banner under your avatar you are now ad free on this site which is the only way to avoid the four vitus scareware. It's a pop up embedded in an ad(s) on SMF that this forum could not find to remove this scareware.

Can you go into your browser settings and block pop-ups? Also, is your browser updated?

Were you able to block popups and redirects in settings?

For anyone reading the thread in the future, here's how to block on Google Chrome:

You may also need to restart after installing or changing settings.
