Ignore them – they are Spyware Trojans
Free – For starters, download, update and run a full scan using SuperAntiSpyware (SAS) http://www.superantispyware.com/
SAS is an exceptionally easy to use application that will remove the majority of difficult Trojans and Worms, not just the easy ones. In addition it has the ability to remove Vundo and Smitfraud infections. SAS can lock your home page to prevent browser hi-jacking attempts.
If possible it is recommended that you load SAS in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. If you are badly infected you might need to run SAS more than once to help clean your system. Afterwards if the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore to purge the files.
Assuming you have some real awkward infections that persist even after trying all the above I suggest you download a dedicated Smitfraud removal program from:

If possible run in Safe Mode.
Likewise the dedicated VundoFix:

Good luck & safe surfing.

i would say don’t download it. 99% of those ads are for bogus programs that don’t do anything but say they found viruses and then say that they fixed them but in reality they aren’t there. if you want some good free antiviruses try avg antivirus and spybot search and destroy. both can be downloaded from download.com
DO NOT!!!
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TOUCH MALWARE ALARM IT IS ONE BIG MOTHER OF A VIRUS …GO TO DOWNLOAD.COM ..TYPE IN AVAST ..DOWNLOAD THAT .. RUN SCAN .. ALSO AVIRA IS GOOD AS WELL ….
DONT!!!! malware alarm is a scam, its gets more crap on computer. go to pctools and get spyware doctor, its the best software ever. get the free starter edition its good enuf. free download, good software, no bad stuff.
good luck
Use following programs to scan your comp:
AVG Antivirus + AVG Antispyware
Spybot Search & Destroy
Then clean Registry with Ccleaner and reboot your comp.
Get avg free from grisoft.com there is also avg spyware free there too.
The other’s are gimmicks!!!!
NO – definitely do not click that link or pay them any money. For malware alarm, the company prompting you to buy their removal software is the same company that infected your computer in the first place.
I had 2 computers infected by this annoying nuisance, even though I had Norton installed on one and McAfee installed on the other. I used Spyware Doctor to get rid of it, and documented the steps I took on my blog at the link below – hope it helps!
