All computers have antivirus programs built into them. Then after 3 months you get all of these pop ups warning you to get more.
Is this really necessary? You aren't going to lose ALL protection if you don't purchase it are you? Need to know fast!!

All computers DON'T have antivirus programs in them. You would need to download or buy an antivirus program yourself to get an antivirus program in them. Don't believe anything a random popup ever tells you, it's just trying to lure you into its trap. Be sure to have a pop-blocker, antispyware, firewall, and antivirus programs on your computer to be really safe. There are free antispyware programs like AVG, Ad-Aware, and Spybot Search and Destroy. You only need one antivirus program on your computer and i've heard that avast! or AVG are both good ones. I'm sure that there are good free firewalls as well.

Where do you get the idea that all computers have antivirus programs built into them? They are usually seperate programs that you purchase like Norton or McAfee. Do a google search on antivirus programs to find more information. Many times you get the protection that you pay for. Perhaps you have a program which allowed you to test it out for a few months before you have to purchase it.

do not click on those. These are rogue (bad) programs that will infect your computer. They're not really antivirus. They are scam programs that will make your computer inoperable.
sounds like you need some better computer security. Do you have a decent firewall? Are you using a decent antivirus program? Do you have reputable anti spyware and anti adware? Is your computer slow? Answering these questions will help determine if your computer has infections.

Norton Anti-virus is the best on the market for your money, Free AVG home version is also good ( but I heard that they are now charging for the service) Or you can take your chances at Best buy ( at 55.00 for a bench fee + cost and hope that your computer works) or pay me 125.00 an hour.
p.s I'll use Norton AV and still charge you the 125.00 an hour But I promise it will be done the first time.

no you dont have to purchase a new antivirus programme after 3 months. depending on which antivirus software you have, the features usually stay the same no matter what, but is an updated version. hope this helps.

NO.. dont buy them.. they are programs written by some low profile companies to make some bucks.. ignore the pop ups.. install good antivirus like kaspersky it blocks popups.. you can download it for free from 9down.com

yes, you need to renew it the computer has some safety build in built i let mine lapse and it had a potential of have 600 of more bugs and/or porn sites visited which i did neither. went out next day and bought a new norton. the porn sites come piggy backed on some other junk mail you get if you don't have the protection

No, there is no problem. You can stop the pop ups by altering the programs system settings. You can also remove the program by using the add/remove feature in the control panel.

Are you beneficial that what you experience is God chatting with you or your individual opinion rationalized in the time of the filter out of thinking that's God chatting with you? i'm no longer attempting to be harsh, i'm surely asking. many diverse non secular communities make finished use of technologies to unfold their message. I obtain particularly interesting theological bulletins from a non secular team which does no longer ensue devoid of technologies. i won't have the capacity to myself say that technologies is "evil" while you evaluate that's technologies even though it surely could be placed to unsavory makes use of. the internet as an occasion is technologies and could be used to unfold the two Love and Hate. An iron shovel is technologies and must be used to dig a trapped baby out of a collapsed properly or it must be used to bash somebody over the pinnacle and kill them....

All of those pop-ups are ads. Just ignore them. Get the Google Toolbar, it comes with a free pop-up blocker.
