a variant of Win32/TrojanDownloader.FakeAlert.ME trojan found in operating memory. The file can be deleted. It is strongly recommended that you back up any crucial data before you proceed. No action can be taken while the file is in memory. Click “Leave” to continue and subsequently run the cleaning of all local disks. System memory infection originated from file C:\WINDOWS\system32\brastk.exe.
so does that mean the alert is fake?
Did this message come up when you were just browsing the net or on your computer because this message is a virus alone and do not trust anything it says if your computer is infected besides your anti-virus program than it’s a virus, Widows can not detect viruses by! itself If you were browsing the net when this happened then your safe if you did not download anything but if you were not on the net when this happened then that’s another problem completely. Email me for further assistance.
Too fully remove it, you’d have to purchase anti-spyware software (the free ones do not do removal to the best of my knowledge, unless a new one has come out recently. I’d recommend Spyware Doctor, used it for 2 years before I switched to a “complete package” bundle my internet service provider through in for free to entice me to renew a 1 year contract with them.
