SO,

I was searching the net for an album and all of a sudden this Alpha Anti virus thing shows up telling me i have this many viruses blah blah blah.

And it literally keeps popping up keeping me from searching websites like albumhunt.com etc. It keeps saying i have to renew the protection problem but i have to pay for it

which i dont have the money for. Do i really have this many viruses? Or is this thing a virus itself? Is there anyway i can get a free activation code so i can continue to surf the net?

HELP PLEASE!

The Alpha thing you're talking about is a form of a virus itself. Don't even fuck with it. It's malicious so look up ways to remove it.

Will the 'system restore' thang work?

I just did that like 3 minutes ago. This dude was using the computer and I don't know what son did and what happened but this 'anti-virus' thang was all up on it. And making shit act bugged out. So I did the 'system restore' and shit's fine again.

and superantispyware:

that should sort out most problems. afterward download and run cc cleaner to clean up more garbage and make windows smooth:

It most likely appeared because you downloaded it from a popup ad. Don't ever listen to any virus warnings unless its given to you by whatever antivirus program you have installed. Scammers try to pull that shit all the time by playing to people's fears about viruses.
