Hi all...I had to reformat my computer last week and have just about everything back on line as it should be, but I'm being inundated by pop-up messages telling me that it's urgent that I use their product to repair everything from the registry to my hard drive. If you're niave enough to download their test and use it, it will install a problem that you will then have to purchase their product to "fix", what a scam! I have AVG, Zone Alarm, Spybot search and destroy, and adaware, but I still get these pop-up "urgent" messages, how do I stop these things, they are making me cazy!
