I just started having this problem lately. Evrytime i open IE7 i get this screen which reads:

Due to insecure Internet browsing your PC can easily get infected with viruses, worms and trojans without your knowledge, and that can lead to system slowdown, freezes and crashes.
Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information.
To get full advanced real-time protection for PC and Internet activity, download IE Antivirus.

It told me to get the required protection to conitnue and at first i ignored it, but then i was unable to surf. So i decided download the antispyware, but i guess it was a viirus. my AVG didnt detect it so i got McAfee and it didnt detect ir either. So i got spyhunter and it detected it:
Name: oggsys.dll (Rogue.IE Antivirus) Type: Memory Location: C:\WINDOWS\system32\oggsys.dll

although it detected it i was unable to remove it bcuz i had to purchase it. Im all out of ideas, plus i aint no computer whiz so i dnt want to go fishin aroun and mess up this pc.

this seems to be a relatively new virus bu t i googled the problem and i found a few persons with the same problem who has receive no cure for the problem. So plz if ne one can help it wold be greatly appreciated.
You can email me at: with suggestions. Thanks
