Everytime i come here i get a pop up that says i have 4 viruses and need to download something to save my computer. It is frustrating because i love looking around here. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Why sure, go ahead and download whatever it is they are telling you to. What's the worst that can happen?

The next thing that will happen is "Raul from Customer Service" will have you send a whole bunch of gift cards to Nigeria so they can fix it for you.

My FIL fell for that one on his imac. I was like, holy hell, its not even a microsoft... What will happen is you download the fix, they hold your pc hostage until you pay them for fixing it. Total scam.

I don't know about any "infections", but I seem to be getting barraged with more and more advertising "pop-ups", lately.

Not a big deal --- take your PC in for some professional diagnostic help.

They will scan and remove viruses and/or programs that have attached themselves to your machine using scanning programs that you do not have access to, clean up all of your storage registers, verify blocker settings, and return your PC back to you free of the pop ups that you are experiencing.

I would suggest having the system checked for malware, spyware and make sure to have security software running on the system. This applies for all websites. Do you have anti-virus protection from a credible vendor? What does it say?

Additionally, common sense is important. Don't click on links and download software that you're unsure of. Again, this applies for any website.
