Security centre alert
Pops up and I don’t know if that’s something trying to help or make things worse
Insecure internet security threat of virus attack
Continue to this website unprotected is what is says then if I proceed it tries to get me to buy soft soldier which I believe is being sold by the virus maker.
The anti virus software I had was avast home edition…which ran out a week ago… since then I tried to upgrade to professional which gave me this information below!!!
I deleted my old home edition hoping to reinstall but now it looks like they got me.
What should I do now??? Quickly???

thankyou so much
so far that has worked a treat to stop it from blocking my pages, now do you know how to download the avast pro without it having an error code?
and the error code from previous message is still showing…
I’ve paid for avast pro and cant use it??? ???
here is log from malware
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware 1.41
Database version: 2972
Windows 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1
Did you reboot (pretty much straight away) after running the MBAM scan? There is one file there that needed a reboot to delete.
If not, reboot now, scan again, and if prompted to reboot to delete the file (which hopefully will not be detected again), reboot promptly.
Make sure your firewall is turned on.
Get the full installer for Avast from the home page, 2nd large download just below the words “Note: This product will also work as a 60-day trial…”, 37.24Mb, here.
Once it has downloaded, disconnect form the net, and install it.
Once installed, it should be straightforward to enter the key. Right-click the tray icon, select “about Avast” and then “license” and paste the key number you received into the space provided.
(This assumes you had previously registered/purchased Avast, and received a key via email.)
