How do you get through win 7 security program?

Q. This thing keeps poping up saying win 7 security has blocked a program from accessing the Internet. It says I got a virus. And it's forcing me to activate win 7 security. Reg pops up. Have no clue what the reg code is.

A. This is a fake antivirus, and is a trojan malware itself.  Download, install, update and do a full scan with either SUPERAntiSpyware (SAS) or MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) (or both, even -- but one at a time), and let them remove whatever they find.  You'll most likely need to do this in Safe Mode, and you may need to download them on another computer if your internet access is compromised.  You may also need to run rkill to kill the malware process, and maybe rename the SAS and Malwarebytes executables' file names as well.

SAS download:  http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE&rid=3324
MBAM download:  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/malwarebytes-anti-malware
Rkill download:  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill
 
There are excellent tutorials on this at Bleeping Computers:

MBAM tutorial:  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/how-to-use-malwarebytes-anti-malware-tutorial
Rkill tutorial:  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/how-to-use-malwarebytes-anti-malware-tutorial#rkill
   

Once it's cleaned up, install a good hosts file to help block unwanted popups, parasites, adware and spyware.  You can read about, download and install an excellent one from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm   This hosts file blocks hundreds of known malicious URLs.  I've been using one from this website for several years now and rarely get popups and annoying ads.  Revisit the page every couple of months as it is updated from time to time with new sites.
 

Also, never use an administrator account for day-to-day use.  Always use a Standard or Limited account.  This will limit the amount of damage these things can do, and prevent them from installing by themselves.
