Answer 4

You may actually have malware in the form of aggressive spyware if you are getting pop-ups prompting you to buy their product to get rid of imaginary threats.

No one product is foolproof so you may want to download, check for updates and run these in Safe Mode should you prefer. To get to Safe Mode, reboot your computer and hold down the F8 key while it is starting up. A screen will appear after a few seconds where you can choose Safe Mode. To exit Safe Mode all you have to do is reboot. You should also re-run your antivirus product while in safe mode.

(These programs can be run in Safe Mode after installation and updating)

In addition to the above, you may want to install SpywareBlaster. This program is free and requires you to check for, and enable, updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources. It blocks spyware before it installs.

Finally, you didn't specify the type of pop-ups appearing. If they are Messenger Service pop-ups, follow these steps.

- Click Start and then click Control Panel.

- Click Performance and Maintenance. (If you do not see the Performance and Maintenance icon, you may be using Classic View. You can skip to step 3 below, but you must double-click Administrative Tools.)

- Click Administrative Tools

- Double-click Services  

- Double-click Messenger.

- In the Startup type list, choose Disabled

- Click Stop, and then click OK

Reboot to ensure the settings stick. To see screenshots, you can go to the Microsoft page below:
