Or if you are using Firefox.........

If you aren't using Firefox with the noscript add-on, you should be.
This is THE add-on everyone should have.

Type: Virus
Infection Length: 251 bytes
Systems Affected: Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000



The following instructions pertain to all current and recent Symantec antivirus products, including the Symantec AntiVirus and Norton AntiVirus product lines.
  1. Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).
  2. Update the virus definitions.
  3. Run a full system scan.
For specific details on each of these steps, read the following instructions.

1. To disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP)
If you are running Windows Me or Windows XP, we recommend that you temporarily turn off System Restore. Windows Me/XP uses this feature, which is enabled by default, to restore the files on your computer in case they become damaged. If a virus, worm, or Trojan infects a computer, System Restore may back up the virus, worm, or Trojan on the computer.

Windows prevents outside programs, including antivirus programs, from modifying System Restore. Therefore, antivirus programs or tools cannot remove threats in the System Restore folder. As a result, System Restore has the potential of restoring an infected file on your computer, even after you have cleaned the infected files from all the other locations.

Also, a virus scan may detect a threat in the System Restore folder even though you have removed the threat.



For instructions on how to turn off System Restore, read your Windows documentation, or one of the following articles:

Dante...

About a Month ago we started to a few problems here and there...where these were popping up.
After switching over to Firefox ( with the add-on ) it doesn't happen anymore.
Plus The RX tech team had taken care of a few things as well.
But still they pop up sometimes.

You will see another one that was posted last night http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=786960

Also, I just clicked on the Free Beeper Banner just now, and Nothing.

I'll get a warning about 'suspicious activity reported' from time to time, but that's it.
I just hit the allow function when that pops up, and never have a problem.
