Fake Windows Security Center Help

[Alexje4400]

Hello all

been having probs with a pesky pop up says "windows security center" and it wants you to click on it.
it doesn't pop up in a new window it just takes you to it using the window that you are on.
Please Help!

I am kindof a noob so specifics would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, check out some of your startup items in msconfig, if you don't know what the startup item or a process is in task manager, google it to see if it is malware.

forgot to tell you, the hijack this log didn't detect your firewall also. Go into the control panel & make sure your firewall is enabled!!

Your windows is not updated either go to windows updates!
