"REIMAGE" seems classified as a virus or trojan.

Best Google how to remove REIMAGE.

 

NEVER "Fix Issues Now".

Better pull the plug.

 

Install and run adwcleaner,its free,it will get rid of this...........an excellent piece of kit

thank you all.

Also implies that my ANTIsuperSpyWare did not catch it!!

 

 Question: it showed up the screen but I didn't click on it------meaning 

PC already infected ---or only after clicking?

Closing the window is not good enough?

In a way it is infected.

This REIMAGE is "AdWare" which intends to direct you buy/install all kind of stuff (as seen in the message).

So up to now it is only annoying (not like a virus) and closing the box should be ok.

 

But it's really recommended to get rid of this stuff.

The AdwCleaner described in post #4 seems to do the job.

I can not give recommendations as I can not even remember when I was last hit by such stuff (must be 10 years ago or so).

Well, there's your problem.  The software you have is ANTI-SuperSpyWare.  The software you want is SUPER-AntiSpyWare   ;-)

Knowing myself, I'm sure to trip into that one too

Malwarebytes. Free version should clear this out.

This is just to remove Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from your system(?).

 

 

Hi, I got the exact same dialog saying "REIMAGE: Important Notice" today after windows update.Grrr.... It is not clear if windows update has caused it. This is obviously annoying me and my time.

 

However I am currently working out how to remove it via malwarebytes and avira.....Did you manage to remove it yet?

The outcome - Malwarebytes have detected & removed the reimage bug successfully. I also remove reimagesetup.exe from download file manually as well. So I assume you can resolve too.   

You've beaten me to it:

I went one step further=

I  deleted Malwarebytes  immediately thereafter--- because of its obscene permissions

Good advice in this thread.  To boil it down to two steps:

1)  DO NOT respond to these things, even if (and especially!) if it offers its own Cancel  button

2) figure out where it came from and clean it up

 

I once had a piece of nasty-ware called GoogleUpdate.exe that, when activated, started to download files to turn my system into a dating website.  When looking through my old backups I discovered the crap had been sitting on my C: drive for months.
