Windows Security Alert This a new problem. Starting from a few hours ago I receive every 5-10 minutes the following message: "Windows Security Alert / To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has detected activity of harmful software / Do you want to block this software from sending data over the Internet? / Name: Trojan-Downloader. Win32.Agent. bq.etc. Etc. I am given the choice to click 'Enable Protection' If I do so, I am directed to a commercial site that tries to sell me the following software: "PC AntiSpy, PC clean Pro". I cannot get rid of this pop-up. I have run `a-squared', `Ad- Aware', `SpyBlaster' , `Malwarebytes' , `Spyware Terminator', and `Avast' anti-virus but the 'alert' keeps coming back every few minutes. I am not familiar enough with technical terms so please I would much appreciate step-by-step instructions.
