Fake Antivirus/spyware attack

Im not saying the org is at fault but im not ruling that out. "Security Tool" just tried to take over my computer and i have been on the org for the past hr and a half when all of a sudden i just see stuff asking for my permission to install, those that know "Security Tool" knows that it will install no matter what u say then trys to get u to pay to get rid of it.

Im smarter than the average bear(vista also makes this easy) so it took me 5 mins to get rid of this stupid ****, but it is annoying. Some admins might wanna look into that.

I am not sure if you guys know about this program or not. But I think you guys should try out Sandboxie its a little program that I've been using for years and what it does is that every time you use your browser you open it inside this program and what it basically does is let you play in a sandbox do whatever, and get whatever viruses and junk you want. And when you close your browser everything is gone. Its as if you never opened your browser in the first place.

Thanks guys, we're still trying to figure out exactly which ad partner could be doing this.
