An antivirus software keeps popping when i am browsing requesting download, how do i stop this from happening?computer

Hi there,

If this pop-up is nothing to do with your currently installed security programs, then it's a high probability this is a malware infection on your PC - likely to be one of Spyware Quake, SpyFalcon or System Doctor that are all doing the rounds lately. Under no circumstance follow the information delivered by these pop-ups as they only lead to an even larger payload of spyware / adware.

Firstly I would ignore recommendations to install AVG, Spybot and Ad-Aware. These used to be great programs a couple of years ago, but their protection is now lacking, with them now rated as 3 of the worst security programs for actual protection.

My recommendation would be a program called Prevx1. This is an all-in-one solution that is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware (virii, spyware, adware, trojans, rootkits, etc) than all other security vendors combined. It has recently been reported to hold the strongest protection and removal capabilities available today, so should be able to remove your current infections quite easily. As a side-note - I recently installed Prevx1 on a friend's PC that already had AVG installed, and Prevx1 went on to find over 30 pieces of malware that AVG had missed. This shows how poor AVG has now become...
