How do I get Vista Internet Security off of my computer?
I know it’s a scam, they can’t even spell certain words right. It’s popping up every two seconds saying I have viruses…while my Norton Internet Security is running just fine.
If anyone can tell me how to clean this off, that would be lovely.
Thanks in advance!

You need to go to the link I’m giving you. If you just run Malwarebytes anti-malware without taking some other steps first, you will have problems running exe. files after removal of the threat.
