I hope I have this question in the right place.but if not, I apologize.
All of a sudden I keep getting this Internet AntiVirus Pop-Up thing coming on my screen every two minutes. It's not in the install/uninstall list and I don't know how to get rid of it or how it got there. I have Norton 360 and I ran a scan and it shows evevything is all right. This other thing keeps telling me I have 146 viruses, Trojan something is on it like 20 times. How do I get rid of it? Oh, yes, they want me to purchase it for $89.99, of course. My pop-up blocker is on. Thanks so much |

This isnt an Office question, what it means is that your PC is infected with
malaware which is not the same as a virus and many anti virus packages are not that successfull in detecting/removing malaware. You will need to scan your PC with several malaware detection apps; MS Defender, Adaware, and SpyBot all being free Other than that post to a 'security' group for advice, or one that supports your o/s "jackievar" wrote in message ...
