Received a warning from Microsoft Security Essentials about the following threats:
Trojan-PSW.Win32.launch
HackTool:Win32/Welevate.A
Adware.Win32.Fraud
The message warns I need to clean my computer immediately before a system crash.
When I scan with Webroot it finds no such threats. Is this warning for real?

+56Looks like it is a fake pop-up from a website trying to trick you into clicking on a fake removal tool:
http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-microsoft-security-essential-alert.html
If the Webroot scan is coming up clean then you can just close that window and ignore it. I'm assuming it popped up in the middle of you going to a particular website?
