    I have a V2Premier desktop running windows xp. I was recently notified that adware, worms, virus, and trojans were present on my machine. A popup appeared each time I touched a key saying that I needed to buy software to remove them. I ran my current software programs(malware, virus protection, etc.,) and nothing showed up. Finally I restored my system to a date when everything on it was fine. (the popups are gone):confused My question is, do these issues still remain on my computer somewhere or are they really gone or was this just an attempt to get me to buy the software? Please help!

    :confused
