If any popup requests you to dial a number, it is a sure sign of trickery. Such popups are generated by special kind of trojans classified as ransom ware (ransom claiming software). To get rid of the popups users concerned need to exterminate relevant trojans.

If that has not eliminated the popup, you need to get your system into Safe Mode. This mode is available in Windows boot menu. To enter the menu, press F8 on reboot.

i cannot start the system in the safe mode because I am getting the same error even when I log-in in the safe mode. how to get around it?
hey, have you noticed another option called Directory Service Restore Mode? Please try that mode, if that also fails, please let me know.
the directory service restore mode didn't also work. any other options?
please help me. there are some important files that i need to use at the office. please.
yes, the directory service restore mode is also failing. it loads windows fine in the safe mode or dsr mode and asks me to login. when i log in, the error appears. is there an alternative way for killing the svc.exe without logging in?
what is the real name of this trojan?
This is a Spyware and all those alerts are fake. Have you tried safe mode with command prompt
