I'm a senior with limited PC terminology & experience so be patient. I have popup stoppers but I'm still getting a popup that states: " Potential spyware operation! Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system & internet files. Run full scan to prevent any unauthorized access to your files. Download spyware removal now". Of course I've not downloaded it because I figure it is a hoax. I've run virus scan & show no virus. How can I get rid of this popup permanently? Thanks for help.

It has an inbuilt pop-up blocker that blocks almost all pop-ups. Many users are satisfied with, including me!

Thanks for reply. I think I have Google popup stopper. I have also lost my control panel so I don't know for sure what I have. I do know I have AVG virus scanner. Thanks again for your help.
