Threat blunder

I was surfing the web at about past 12 AM
and suddenly a malicious program installed itself on my PC without my consent.
I tried to manually uninstall it to no avail.
It even prevented me from running Task Manager.

Just a couple of hours ago,
my PC was attacked by a fake antivirus program called "AV Security 2012".
It displays fake error messages consistently
that it makes you buy the so-called "antivirus program"
It took me roughly more than half a day to counterattack it.
Luckily, I found these sites that helped me removed it.


I love Secunia.
It updates my programs all in one place so that my
PC will not be vulnerable to threats out there.
It patches up my PC's software to the latest version.
