    This pop up has been appearing ever since I ran into a problem with my computer I'm not sure is fixed. The pop up looks like this. I typed it exactly as it looks. I think their is a virus on my computer that is making this pop up when I'm on Internet Explorer  and now Fire Fox

    The Page at http://protectionfastscanner.com says:

    Robert;

    You're off topic for this forum, which is dedicated to Windows Live OneCare.

    However, you might want to have a look here:

And ever since that thing popped up, it started lagging me like hell. Expecially when i'm trying to open my emails on haotmail.-which i can't! T~T Did you fix your problem yet? If you did, can you tell me what you did please? TT~TT
