I dont know from where I got this..
But whenever I start my computer I get this message out of nowhere:
Please scroll down to right bottom cornoer and you will see the popup; it keeps on displaying the same message every 15 minutes or so.. its coming from the blue question mark icon..
When I click on the message it directs me to this website:
http://www.spywarequake.com/?aff=247
Is this thing legitimate? Should I download that software and install it to stop this popup from coming again and again ? How do I get rid of it?:(
:( :( :( :( :( |

download spybot. run it. it's probably spyware. spybot should get rid of it. If that doesn't work, come back here. |

Good call! Check your msconfig also.
(go to Start -> Run -> type "msconfig") |

norton too. there are loads of free virus scan software that are better than even the norton that you pay for.
