Hello,

If the pop up is still there, your still infected.

Turn off your caps lock, it's causing me to not want to help you.

 

[Guest]

thanks david..the caps are off...
considering my personal optical system is not as efficient as your, this
makes it a lot more difficult for me to see but ill manage... secondly i
thought caps were for shouting...which is exactly what i was doing.


in any case..i did fix the problem. following all the links from bree's
posting the only one that cleared up the virusprotectpro was bitdefender.

btw its quite a nice and easy program and it picks up stuff that spysweeper
w/virus and Advance Windows cAre ver 2 did not.

thank g-d its not popping up anymore....
