[QUOTE="Dean Jordan, post: 502236, member: 51833"] Hi, and thank you for your help. I was thinking after I reset the modem about your idea about something related to the DNS. I changed the pc's DNS to different addresses with another major ISP and since I did that, no more pop ups or fake virus alerts. I'm wondering, would it be possible that somehow the DNS server that the ISP has, could have an infection that is serving up these on the pc, or any pc that is using that as their DNS server? I'm not even sure if this is possible, but it is strange that since changing the servers, there hasn't been one pop up. Any other thoughts are appreciated. I've held off running the ZOEK scan at the moment, but its been a real strange one to me this one! Thanks again Dean. [/QUOTE]
