    Last night my computer (Vista) suddenly began giving me alerts that my virus protection was off and that I needed to purchase security soldier to protect my computer.  I ran a full McAfee scan and found nothing out of order.  Security Soldier keeps giving me intruder alerts and telling me to buy the program.  This looks like a scam to me.  What do I do?

    Yes, it is a scam, contact McAfee perferably their online chat for help. This forum is for Microsoft Security Essentails Beta only.

    The forum you posted to is for the discussion of Microsoft Security Essentials beta. You are infected with a rogue antimalware program which McAfee did not detect. I suggest contacting McAfee support for help with malware removal - http://www.mcafee.com/us/support/index.html
