Thanks Laryb, I've run into this one before also. When something like this happens, I don't click on anything, and instead immediately turn off my computer by holding in the on/off button for 5 seconds. That's the best way I've found to bypass this bug. Then I turn the computer back on and run my malwarebytes and superantispyware scans. You are right, it disables all your virus protection. Sometimes, I have to download McAfee security all over again because it's disabled. Be sure to really check your security systems because sometimes they appear to be working but actually are not. Try running a virus scan with your McAfee or Norton, etc., and if it will not scan then you may need to download again.
