If you ever get something that starts running on your computer and you are not sure how to shut it down, you can always just shut down your whole computer. That will stop it.
You can tell those "scans" are fake because they happen so fast. When I run my anti-virus software it takes about an HOUR to scan my computer. The pop-up things do it in about 15 seconds and all of a sudden they have found viruses, yeah right....
