Download adaware,dont panic,its only spyware you have got all it does is slow your computer down,you need to get rid of it though.
Your laptop isn't in danger,you probably got an advert telling you that,so you would download their programme.
The one Iv'e given you is very good,i will put a link at the bottom for you,run it twice a week and it will clear every problem,xx

The way your question is worded has me suspicious. There are viruses that will put a little yellow icon in your notification area and have popups saying stuff like that trying to prompt you to buy their "software" to remove it. If that's the case you might want to search for any name that is associated with it for removal instructions.
then free AV software: AVG -- which was mentioned
I recommend CCleaner as well (just run it with default settings). It helps to run it before Anti-spyware scanners to get a better idea of what the real threat(s) are in the scan results. (CCleaner clears out the tracking cookies which would show up in the scans.)
Also (my "canned" answer):
http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html
After its updated select the “Immunize” icon, click on the green + to immunize your system. This will help prevent any new spyware/malware infestation by blocking new items. THIS MUST BE REDONE AFTER EVERY UPDATE SO THAT YOU ARE PROTECTED AGAINST THE LATEST THREATS.
Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
After updating go to the main screen click the “Scan now” button, this will take you to a screen that says “Select a scan mode:”, select "Customize" and check "Scan within archives" then "Proceed". Then select "Select" and check all of your drives, "Scan volume for ADS" should be checked now. Now just select "Next".
Also: AVG Anti-spyware http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
If that doesn't work you'll need to go through this:

About the "Free Stuff" - you are not protected !
Many people everywhere at boards and forums and groups always ask about "free protection" available to download and use. Sure, that's fine, because there are many genuine real programs and utilities available for free. But you must know the difference and dangers - using paid programs and free programs. This is the same for antispyware as well as antivirus software programs. Reasons for those seeking these softwares free may be being sick of shoveling out the money after realizing inferior product purchases, short or tight budgets, or no online purchase abilities, and the best reason - to have back up programs if the primary gets 'hit'. Whatever the reasons - you must know the differences in free and paid programs in antivirus and antispyware softwares, because with free stuff you are not protected ! (The free ones only scan and remove if able). Read...
About "free stuff"....
You need to understand what "real time protection" is. None of the free programs offer this with the exception of the real time active shields in the free Microsoft Windows Defender (antispyware) program. In other words, without real time protection (which will block viruses from installing and most adware and spyware or at least present a warning for blocking) your computer will get infected first. After that, the free programs in antivirus and antispyware will allow removal after a full scan and detection. The problem with that is corruption of files or softwares - as well as the personal information already leaking (being transmitted back to cyber criminals). In severe threats in many cases your free programs will be blocked from even operating or retrieving update definitions. Paid subscriptions activate real time protection for antivirus and antispyware programs that have active shields like Webroot Spysweeper or Trend Micro Antispyware. Note that only the top sellers in antispyware actually have real time shields - the others are just scanners basically.

It is highly unlikely that you have 715 problems. Let's face it your PC is still working so things cannot be that bad.
Who or what told you have 715 problems?
If you have a trojan (a fake spyware program) installed then you may not have any problems except the trojan.
You need to identify the trojan and then search for a way to remove it.

Run both of these on-line scans. Both are free and excellent at detecting and removing malware free of charge. There is no need to un-install your current protections before using these.
1. Scan for virus, worms, dialers, etc. and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with BitDefender's Online Scanner
http://www.bitdefender.com/
2. Scan for trojans, adware, and spyware and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus.
http://www.ewido.net/en/
These scans will take quite a bit of time. The time is necessary to clean-up an infected computer.
Good luck.

Here are program I use that will give you 100% protection. Ofcourse you must also have all your critical updates installed from Microsoft.
I use the free zone alarm firewall for many years. Excellent with free updates and all new versions free. Protects you from rouge incoming packets and keeping your private data from leaving your pc.
http://www.zonealarm.com Download their free home for personal use.
Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.
This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.
What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.
I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.
If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.
Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).
Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.
Twister Trojan Antivirus V7
Very low on resources with scanner running in background.

What God could have for us is maximum remarkable. the top activity? What end activity? There are basically outcomes whichever way. in elementary terms God can do God's will the mostest. i individually, shall purpose to do as God could have me do... God speaks to us all in many procedures, which includes voices, aims, visions and so on. loose will operates out of selection, loose will is thereabouts the devil's will, to me individually. it is an apple genesis tale back. do no longer settle for apples from the devil. do no longer settle for apples from the devils. Ask God approximately apple of existence, & apple of understanding. do no longer take from the centre tree. God so is familiar with. Ask God first. lots of my braincells seem to think of they have a will, whilst in certainty, all they have is volition. God is familiar with. Will is largely undesirable, i individually does not pass alongside that path. Grace is maximum more advantageous. Grace comes at Grace velocity. thank you be to God.

What kind of problems ??? Viruses?Spywares?Hardware? or Software? With that many problems, it would be easier for you to reformat your hard drive and reinstall Window. It will take less time and you will have a clean start. Just remember to install antivirus,firewall and antispyware apps on your pc to prevent more problems.
