This is my first time to use this site and I am very hopeful after viewing some of the posts. I also want to thank those of you that help in here. Nice to see some that combat those who would harm our comps.
I have this icon in my toolbar that resembles the red shield of windows and also has a shield that has the red/blue/yellow/green color on it. This gives me a pop-up every few minutes that looks like it is running a scan or it is asking me to buy some protection for my computer and so on. I have noticed this on another thread, but I could not seem to fix it solo.
I used this method and it did not work: www.geekstogo.com/forum/Fake-Windows-Security-Alert-Messages-t190771.html
Also, here is the log from this attempt
