The first thing I would do is to run an update for the virus definitions. After you have the most recent update, scan your hard disks to check for virus activity.
It sounds like a rogue adware/malware software and you can use Spyware Doctor to remove it. I love this software. Gets rid of all kinds of that junk.
Hey, I had these too the other day. Found this removal tool did the trick. http://windows.pcselfservice.com/spyware-removal/security-tools.html

How can you get torjan when you got antivirus?

Why is windows saying that Norton Security Suite by Comcast is turned off when Norton is saying its on and I'm protected do you have a virus What should you do?
I had this problem tonight. I would get the little red shield "Windows Security Center" popup that would say: "norton security suite is turned off" "norton security suite is turned off" If I clicked on it, it would say: Norton Security Suite says the Norton Firewall is turned off and it would say: Norton Security Suite says the Norton Antivirus is turned off I opened the Norton Security suite (from Comcast), and both the Firewall and Antivirus were enabled and running. I tried all sorts of things. I was convinced that the "Windows Security Center" warning was a virus. I was afraid to try clicking on the button in Windows Security Center that claimed it would fix the problem. It turned out to be a lot less serious than that. Here is what I did that actually fixed the problem: 1) I ran as thorough scan with Norton and MalWareBytes (aka MBAM), and found nothing. If you have any other trusted antivirus program, run them as well. 2) I disconnected the network, and disabled the WIFI modem 3) I manually turned off Both the Norton Firewall and the Norton Antivirus 4) I rebooted, and waited for the "Windows Security Center" popup, and I noted that the Norton Tray icon also indicated a problem. 5) I manually turned Both the Norton Firewall and the Norton Antivirus back on. 6) I noted the "Windows Security Center" red shield immediately went away. 7) I rebooted, and the red shield never came back. I use this laptop for video capture. To prevent a background virus scan from occuring during a capture, I disconnect all network connections, and disable Norton firewall and Antivirus, selecting the "Until next Reboot" option. I do my captures, and reboot the computer when I am done. Apparently, "Norton Security Suite" and "Windows Security Center" can get their signals crossed. By actually disabling then later re-enabling the Norton Firewall and Antivirus, they got back in sync.
Are antivirus 2009 and Spy ware Doctor rouge software?
Antivirus 2009 is rouge software. Spyware Doctor is not. I got antivirus 2009 because i didn't know what it was. But Spyware Doctor isn't rogue software. But if you have Antivirus 2009 you're computer can be at risk.
