It's not one of those spyware things, but it's beside the clock where it shows you the things that are connected to your computer, whether or not you have internet connection OLPFan200 Posted at 3:54 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 Quote: from FlamesofJustice at 6:52 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 And get firefox. Internet explorer is unsafe and prone to hacking. Firefox is not. Not entirely true. FireFox has been caught with it's pants down a few times, but it at least address the issues and solves the problem faster than M$: IE.

FlamesofJustice Posted at 3:52 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 It could be one of those pop-ups that like to lie to unsuspecting users. Unless if its windows itself telling you that there's something wrong with the computer, ignore any pop-ups. And get firefox. Internet explorer is unsafe and prone to hacking. Firefox is not.

That's just windows being stupid me thinks. No, it recognizes third party anti-viruses. Avast is pretty good. Micus Posted at 3:43 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 AVG so good Meep123 Posted at 3:41 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 AVG but I'm pretty sure that exclamation point will be there anyway.
