Okay, so this is how it is. I keep getting my virus protector popping up with a blocked file, and then after that a webpage pops up.
Here's the virus protector:
This box pops up, then a little while later THIS page opens up, in internet explorer: http://540.scmg.net/randomsites/banner.aspx
Just a heads-up: this link apparently takes you to material listed as "bad" under the rules of this site. DON'T click it.
Now that page doesn't seem to do any harm to my PC, because it's been happening about half a dozen times a day and nothing's happened yet. (I was going to post this earlier, but I wanted to observe what happened over a day or so period first.)
What I think it's trying to do is, execute a virus with a link to that page, but F-Prot is stopping the virus from executing.
It might be the most obvious answer in the world, but does anyone know how to get into System Volume Information? I was thinking I might delete the file manually as none of the AV or spy/ad/malware software I use seem to be able to pick it up...
Help appreciated!
