It is a scam malware program that warns of nonexistant viruses to con you to pay to remove it.

Please download MalwareBytes' AntiMalware using the BLUE button for the FREE version.


* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:

o Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
o Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

* Then click Finish

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

* Once the program has loaded, select > Perform Quick Scan, then click > Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click > OK, then > Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click > Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Save this log to My Documents in case it is needed for reference.
Reboot as required.

Run a scan with the program that found the virus/trojan and report back.

Sometimes the malware will prevent the install of any software that will kill it. Should this happen, go to where you saved the download .exe, (desktop or download folder) and right click it and rename it to moggy.exe or something, then double click the icon to run it.
