Answer» Hi!!!!
I am very new so please be gentle.
I am running Windows XP on my Aspire 1672LMi laptop.
When I am using my computer I get a window that pops up and tells me that my PC may have fatal errors on it.
When I press the cancel button I am then logged into an internet site where I am asked to download SOFTWARE.
I have MICROSOFT Spyware and Norton Anti Virus.
Why is my PC doing this and how can I prevent it??? Scan for Viruses, Trojan Horses and Spyware.
Virus scanners
AVG Free
-- Anti virus scanner
Trend Micro Housecall
-- ONLINE anti virus scanner.
Anti spy/malware

Use both a hardware and software firewall.
Be advised as dual software firewalls may cause problems
