    [Inactive] Windows Security Alert

    I realize this title is somewhat generic but it's the first message which pops up on the screen as I'm booting up my computer. Another generic message I receive is "Antiirus Action" which also makes the the main characteristic of this virus. At another given point I will receive a message "Attack from: 156.179.66.160, port 44782 Attacked port: 23322 Threat: BankerFox.A" .

    I have run Malwarebytes in safe mode several times and my antispyware program, SUPERAntiSpyware, twice now and am getting the same results of 2 types of threats Description: Adware.Tracting Cookies 2 and Adware.MyWebSearch/FunWebProducts 1 (which is a total of 3 threats).

    I select the option to correct or destroy these 3 item and then reboot my system. During the booting process I'll start receiving the "Windows Security Alert" message again and the "Antivirus Action" messages.

    Both of these alert messages gives me the option to correct or proceed unprotected. When selecting the option to correct your presented with the opportunity to purchase the correction.

    Has anyone else encountered this situation before.
    I'm open to any suggested solutions.
