You don't have to have that browser, it is an example of the avast alert and how you attach it in a post.

They also haven't a clue what you are going to subsequently install.

Dell in the past have had lots of form for installing cr4pware, there was a tool built to remove it, Decrapifier.

My Identity Protection is installed too.  I clicked on it once and entered my name but it asked for my SS number so I didn't go any further.   Guess I had best uninstall that too.

I have never heard of My Identity Protection (so I can't really say), but I know a friend who probably does google.com/yahoo.com.

avast! blocked the virus:

This popped up after I uninstalled Anti Phishing Advisor.

I tried to do a screen shot using paint but it didn't work.

Since I ran a boot scan yesterday and it didn't show any threats I'm not going to worry about these stupid popups anymore.
