How can I stop this stupid alert that pops up every three mintutes?

Question

This is kinda long but...

Every three minutes I get a message that says:

Your computer is infected!

Windows has detected spyware infection!

It is reccomended to use antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now download and install the most up to date antispyware for you.

Click here to protect your computer from spyware!

So I click there and Norton says it blocked an attempt. It also says my Spyware protection is secure. So I go to Scurity center and disable the pop up messages. It still doesnt go away. So I restart the computer. It STILL doesn't go away. I play games on this computer, and I sure as heck don't want my games to be slowed down and stopped every three minutes! Norton says I am secure, windows security center says I am secure, I have ALL the latest updates, but the stupid popup doesn't care about that. HELP!!!!!!

Answer 2

it sounds asif you have a virus before you got up to dat with the updates of the anti virus ... o youve turned them off to download somthing and let one into your computer the oly way i know of sorting that prob is inserting your O.S disk into the cd/dvd drive and repairing your hdd for the selected options which it gives you.

good luck  

Answer 3

Never click on those. They're ads and most likely spyware. What you need to do is get an anti-malware software (I use spybot), and try and find the infected file that is giving you those problems.

I hope this helps!
