Problem 1: Lately, it started to occur today, every time this pop up (Not from the internet, but from the computer, saying to prevent viruses, and all windows have to close) and all the options it would ask me is to click ''Close Message.'' Then after 3 seconds, my computer would freeze. I tried attempting to actually go to Task Manager, and close it that way. It also freezes every time that pop up from my computer appears, and I close it. It never used to be like that, even when this weird pop up appears, and I am wondering why this happens.

I'll get a screenshot if this appears again. But for now, can someone please tell me what is happening? I dont think I have a virus. I've been scanning lately. (So i'll come back with a screenshot for this one)

Problem 2: Also, this pop up happens to appear a lot. I downloaded a software where I can get MSN Winks for free, and I then uninstalled the program, for the message kept bugging me to purchase their product. I keep getting this message everytime, and I already uninstalled the program, please someone help me get rid of this pop up from the software:

Oh fun fun fun...
Can you tell if its actually your antivirus showing that? Because without actually seeing it, I dont think there are any viruses at all, and its spyware gone wild. Feel free to check the stikie at the top for info.
Also, try to google the exact words of the message in quotes to see what you are up against.

That MSN thing.... eh dunno you might run hijack this to see if its sill starting up. Or reinstall it then uninstall it to remove traces. Worse case uninstall MSN and reinstall it.
could fix BOTH theSe issues.

It would be a lot mroe helpful if you can take screenshot for first problem.

For the MSN Content Plus,
1) Check hijack like above poster said
2) Clean/Repair registry (it may work for some programs)
3) Wait 24 days and see if it will be gone smile.gif

Get SpySweeper and some Antivirus program and run them.
