I have 2 popup's on the right hand side of my laptop that say I have viruses on my laptop, when I run a scan to delete the viruses it says that i do not have any ?
they are clearly trying a scam to get me to purchase their anti spyware.
can any advise me on how to delete these anoying popup's ?
YES! it is a huge ploy - one which i think should be banned!
As long as you have adequate anti-virus and adware removal tools, you should be fine.
I dont think you can remove the pop-ups other then selecting the tick box on your Internet Options box, or changing your settings on your anti-virus programme.
Maybe you've contracted some spyware? i don't know much about it, but if your virus software doesn't check for spyware it might be worth trying a dedicated program like Ad Aware...
