Title: avast pop up window when surfing web
Post by: gomes8504 on September 10, 2009, 05:07:34 AM

Apologies before hand if theres already a topic about this and i didnt find it, i looked thru  few pages and didnt see anyhting about it so. Any and everyime i pull up internet, using mozilla or i.e. (I use mozilla primarily) theres a pop up that comes from my system trey and it tells me everything it scanning. on every page i go to. Not at home right now and cant remember exactly what the 1st few words are of it. but ive gone thru the options/preferences folder and tried turning off numerous things to see if that would stop it but its very annoying and i cant seem to find where to go to turn it off. Ive updated to the latest version (home) and im running it on XP if it matters any. Thanks for any help. ???
