System Win 98 FE, IE 5.0.

While conected I randomly get the error security warning as below.

On Clicking on 'Yes' Button I am directed to the next screen as given below.

What may be the reason ? Is it due to any virus ?

no virus....you have spyware on your PC. Download a good ati-spyware such as Ad-aware or spybot search and destroy. Both are free. Run it let it find all the spyware in ur system and clean them. Reboot ur system and you should be all set.

As I can See from The Screenshot Itself The Toolbar Of Ur Internet Explorer Is Flooded With Spyware Search Bars and Many Other Spyware Softwares Like The Ecredit Access on Ur Desktop......Better Get Youself Adaware Or Spybot To Clean Up Ur Pc From These Spywares :D
