microsoft internet security essentials has put their icon on my desktop and keeps flashing with a warning that my computer is infected with virus and that i need to download their software to remove for only 39.95 and up. somehow they are screwing with computer so it does not work right till i spend money with them, it offers a free version put does not work instead it keeps going back to money.it has flashed up at least 4 times since i started typing this and keeps interrupting as i type this trying to stop me from posting this, each time it comes up with different warning, should be against the law

Some time ago I had purchased internet security essentials, it popped up all the time stating I had many viruses. I contacted their support center and figured out they were not with microsoft, some separate company...anyway they helped me with installation and the program worked fine since than

Not Microsoft Security Essentials

This problem is not Microsoft Security Essentials. This is a Malware program mimicking Microsoft Security Essentials. According to Dave Johnson's BNet Article "Doing business under the name Win32/FakePAV, this app comes to you when an infected Web site downloads it to your PC. Win32/FakePAV eventually launches dialogs that look for all the world like Microsoft Security Essentials and then insists that you have to buy fake anti-virus programs, all the while locking you out of your PC’s normal functions." I suggest you download and run Malwarebytes in attempt to remove your now infected PC.

I think you must have downloaded from a fake site. I run that program and have never had a problem. Be very sure when downloading that is the proper Microsoft site. I did a Google search and found many sites apart from Microsoft also purporting to have it. I've never had to pay Microsoft a cent. Try and uninstall it and download from Microsoft only which should be on the top of your Google search results.
