    1. Laptop is an Asus Zenbook 14, running Windows 10 I believe and I was looking for a program where I could draw up floor plans. I chose a site called houstiustos.co.in. All of a sudden a lot of System Alert-virus alert messages started popping up, at least 4-5 different ones, and will not go away, along with McAfee stuff. Please help. If I need a registry print out if you could guide me through step by step instructions I would be grateful. Thank you in advance for your time. Tried uploading pictures of the messages but I cant even seem to do that. These are the messages scrolling through on my screen, even as we speak. Windows Security says nothing is even wrong!
