That might be malware. One of the best free antivirus protections is avast so perhaps it might clean it off your machine then keep you safe :

I've used Avast and was not impressed with it. It can corrupt desktop/Vista gadgets if uninstalled & their technical support leaves a lot to be desired.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a better option and unlike Avast, you won't be pestered with adverts or annoying pop-ups to upgrade or renew the subscription.

That's interesting. I note what you explain, thanks for posting it.

Avast has a better reputation in the industry than Microsoft products and most if not all other similar, according to various professionals who I associate with, here in London England.

But, sure, maybe they've arrived at that position for various reasons that may not actually be the case or necessarily apply in all situations.

I use the free version. I don't mind their occasional ads and pop ups, I'm glad that they keep me informed of new developments in case I might want to use them. The popups that they do are only occasional and waft off of their own accord after a few seconds. Or I can click them off if I want them out of the way now. Fine by me.

Perhaps the pay version that you used was more intrusive than the free one that I use.

Next time I speak to my bods I'll tell them what you said and ask their opinion about it. If there's anything more worth saying I'll pop back and post it here.

I use free Avast, one can turn off the pop ups.
