    Hello. First of all, i want to thank you for this site.

    I had a problem with popups while surfing, i followed the readme and run first procedures and it seems to be gone. So, Thanks A LOT.

    And now a final question: the problems seemed to start after dowloading and installing a lot of windows updates (from MS update), after i "autentificated" the copy. Its wise to continue dowloading updates?

    Thank you very much again.

    Hi

    While the odd Windows update could cause some issues, they are rare and the updates are needed to keep your Windows version upto date with latest security updates which fix any potential routes that malware "may" use. So yes wise to contunue and update Windows.

    If you got popups then likely you were already infected before the udpates, but glad you ran the Read Me and it helped you :)


    Also have a read of this guide How to Protect yourself from malware! as it may have a couple of tips and suggestions for you to tweak your PC security.
