sytem suite 6 proffessional is a start. You might have to pick up wipe out for your hard drive first though. Just make copies of what you do not want to loose. The system suite 6 is a product Iv'e been using for the last five years and I would'nt trade it for a whole barrel full of Norton,McAfee and all the rest. Been techin for some time and it is the best advice I can give you for this problem.Also look up netdefense firewall at microsoft downloads.

Don't click the popup! Odds are that it is spam and has no idea if your computer is infected or not.
For any computer virus, you should have some computer anti-virus software installed and kept up to date. Many people use Norton anti-virus. You can buy it online and they will send you automated updates to combat new viruses.
Good luck!

If you have a Virus protection program, start it and scan your computer. It should find it and fix it. If you don't, you should get one and also, if you don't and are using windows XP go to your restore program and restore you computer to a couple of days before the virus showed up

go to download.com and get ad-aware SE also do a virus scan
but it sounds like spyware/adware ... chances are the pop up is just part of the infection

close your computer out and restart it should go away it probably is spam to get you to purchase some lame software that they are trying to sell

I like using Housecall by trendmicro... you can scan directly from their website... they scan for both virus's and spyware... and its free.
It usually finds stuff my regular scanner (norton's) doesn't find
www.trendmicro.com
