Pop Up
I am having a little problem. When I open a browser sometime I get a message such as "computer is in thereat of Blood Hound virus" and then the browser loads and take me to a website to download antivirus software. How can I get rid of this problem? I have a pop up blocker which works fine. I think it’s probably a cookie or warm in my computer that is displaying the massage. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the full massage:
"There is a security vulnerability from the Blood Hound virus. We recommend that you download one of the security software programs to prevent malware infection"
After I click on the OK button the massage disappears and a page loads with the following address:
http://www.amaena.com/securityworm5/?aid=amr2&lid=alllids&h=4
I think it is an advertisement. I dont think this page is directed by the Windows. Thanks.
