Re: I keep getting Virus and Spyware pop-outs

Well I checked online and the consensus is it is merely Windows acting slowly as far as detecting antivirus, firewall etc.

You can check all is well in Start/Control Panel/Security and Maintenance, under Security it should look something like this:

Note I also turned off Windows Smartscreen as I already have WebAdvisor, but if you opt to use Edge browser then you should leave it on as WebAdvisor doesn't as yet work in Edge.

Re: I keep getting Virus and Spyware pop-outs

,

                   If you go to www.computerworld.com , they have articles on Microsoft and the push for 'Market Share' in regards to individuals whom have even elected to (Post-phone) installing Windows 10. All it takes, is to allow one/two Optional/recommended updates in, and the campaign starts......

                     Just thought I would share...

                  I lack the time at the moment, but will furnish you the Articles stipulating such.

                 Actually, Peter is correct. The above statements I made refer to a whole different matter.

All the BEST,

CD

Hi again catdaddy  and Ex_Brit,

It won't be long before we will be exchanging Christmas cards ...lol

Once again I appreciate both of you taking the time to get involved in my post and especially for the information you have supplied.

I am going to try to stick with Edge since it came with Windows 10 so I will let Smart Screen on as you recommend.

Thanks and regards to you both,

2harts4ever
