do not click on it

as it is a likely a phony

message trying to lure you

to a place of corruption and

mal intention.

 

since infections are having a difficult time

bypassing and circumventing your anti virals,

then it is likely you have somekind of freeware

that is not infected per se, but is programmed to

give you a phony alert message.

 

the purpose of the message is to lure you

to a malware site where you are then

persuaded to download an official and professional

looking software that is really a trojan horse - malware in disguised.

 

then if you install the malware, you will be again

persuaded to turn off your firewalls

and antivirals to install the antiviral - a phony one that is.

 

anyways, back to your system and issue:

when such an alert pops up, then you

should be able to find the process for it

running and prioritized in memory.

 

do a ctrl-shift-esc

and keep the process window opened

while you are working on your pc.

 

Then wait for the pop up again and see what

process becomes the priority one imposed

upon your system and your attention.
