there is a rogue program around that attacks your PC, by diverting Google links..
it pops up onscreen as Windows Seven Home Secirity 2012 - it's a trojan..!!
and a particularly nasty one too - got advice from bleepingcomputer via son's PC
- ran their Registry fixer - then ran Rkill - then Malwarebytes..
but even after a restart, it still comes up with nasties, like this:
- does anybody know how to eradicate this pest..!!?

took their advice and ran a wee regedit prog they directed me to
then installed and ran Rkill, followed by iExplore, then full scan via MalwareBytes
this was followed a full scan via MSE..
this turned up a couple of rogues in the Creative folder.. I just deleted them completely..
also deleted a couple of entries in the msconfig start-up, which look as though they're designed to exe as soon as Internet Explorer is opened..
- this Trojan is a nasty little beast, and quite persistent, too..
- thanks should go to bleepingcomputer for providing a solution..
