hi everyone my name is michael
i have just recently bought a computer 2nd hand and have windows xp sp2 installed and all updates installed
my computer is a 2.39ghz dell with 512mb of ram

now my problem is i get these AGRESSIVE pop ups that will close my internet browser and pop up instead and make me loose the page i was looking at
and says i must install a antivirus program and if i click on the red x in the corner it says its trying to download to my computer but my pop up blocker blocks it

I have run: cc cleaner
rouge remover 1.16
AVG antivirus scan with all updates
pest patrol scan with all updates
my windows firewall is turned on
I also have zero ads popup blocker running when these come up

the popups also LOOK like they are windows updates but i dont think windows would send me something this aggressive/pushy

any help is greatly appreciatedUse Mozilla Firefox, not Internet Explorer.

What do the pop-ups say?
