At first I'd get popup windows asking me to change

I hit the Esc button to kill them.
Now I get an AVG Popup asking the same thing.
Are these Trojan or Virus related ?
I do an AVG Free Virus search occasionally and it
finds
two or three "Threats", but this popup stuff seems
to be increasingly a problem.
Should I be concerned about these ?
How do I stop them ?
BTW - I also get a Password Window that come up
for "Hide Files & Folders" application that I do
use for my banking & Stock activity.
I did not set up any prompting for it to do that.
Sometimes I persists to the point of not letting
me do anything !
Does Windows XP have some routine that remembers
what you 'normally' do and then pushes it on you ?

BTW - on my "Preferences" bar, the POP-UPS Button is checked.

fwiw, back when i still used windows, AVG & AVG Free failed miserably at
protecting my machines from fake anti-virus pop-ups... we researched
Avira... they have a free version, but we purchased the full suite in
order to get the ad free version and extra features... its been working
on my other half's windows machines without a hitch since 2007...
