I have a riskware invader that seem to wants to invade our whatever it does. I have Kaspersky anti-virus that caches it. I did run a virus scan nothing came up, but when im using the cumputer the riskware keeps poping up on my kaspersky every now and then..So does any one know how to track this riskware and get rid of it forever or at least get it off of my system? I have ran my Super antispyware and my ad- aware -both are the free additions- and thay came up nothing... MUCH HELP NEEDED HERE

Thanks

Can you provide a screen capture of this software's popup or describe it exactly? A web search for that particular software will likely lead to some information on how to best deal with it.

Kaspersky is good, but is a bit ham-fisted, erring greatly on the side of caution. I get "riskware" warnings a lot, and not one time has it been due to something that was actually harmful or caused by a virus. That warning can come frequently at times when legitimate software on your computer tries to update itself, when it accesses the internet in a way Kaspersky doesn't like, and so on.

The popup should have some sort of details link that can give you more information on exactly what program (e.g. "c:\...\example.exe") is trying to access the Internet or change your files. You can then try doing a Google search for that program to see if it is something bad. More often that not the "riskware" stuff is a waste of time, in my opinion.
