    Bogus new version is available (update alert pop up)
    Every few minutes I receive a bogus new version is available (update alert pop up)

    I have tried every spy ware and virus detector and even looked in the registery and need a way to stop this.

    Tried to download this or the easier version "spys on us"
    My computer tells me that my security level won't allow it.
    I spent about an hour trying to lower the level from Restricted Sites
    To the Internet (a lower level) but nothing changed. It bounced back to
    Restricted Sites

    Hi,
    Try this one. I tried and is very good.

    SUPERAntispyware. You can try the free version or try the Professional Trial version. Install and do a scan. It is good enough to find almost all malwares in your system.

    SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware!

    (I am note working for them)

    I have tried everything I know and used all of my guru's programs.
    The best one seems to be NanoScan which found stuff that ad aware,SpyBot, but the pop up is still visiting me every few minutes.

    I have had the same thing for several months and can't find out how to get rid of it either. I hope someone has an answer. It is driving me crazy!
