You posted this in the Spyware Forum.

Don't double-post please!

 

sorry dont which one to post it in if its spyware or general fault ?

 

This would more than likely be spyware related.

Follow the recommended steps outlined in the Spyware Forum to rule out any infection, and if needed you can post a log there.

 

I keep getting the same popups. There are about 3 or 4 different one saying my computer is going to crash, illegal something or other and some other ones, can't think right off hand. They don't popup all the time I would like to know what causes this also. I will be reading your post to see if anyone can help with this problem I'm running WoindowsXP.

 

Regardless, my above advice still stands.

Go to the Spyware Forum and follow the recommendations there.
