    How To Stop A Popup


    I recently built a gaming computer. It uses an Intel Core i7 7th generation processor and runs Windows 7 Professional. I have started getting this popup:




    Everything seems to be working properly so I am not too awfully worried about the updates (let me know if I should be really worried), but the popup appears several times per day, disrupting my work and more importantly my screen recordings. I got the message, and now I really need it to stop popping up. Is there a way to put an end to this?

    On a side note, I can upgrade to Windows 10 for free if I really need to but I like Windows 7 so I'm hoping no one comes back and tells me I'm doomed if I do not upgrade.

First off, I'm not sure this is the correct forum, secondly I know it's not strictly a W7 problem, but, I'm now so desperate I'll try anything. In Firefox the home page is set to Google search by default. When I type in a search it works as expected. If however I try to modify the search in the...
I have had this happen in the past week on two different Win7 PC's. I am sure that it is not a virus on either PC because after it happens I can shut the PC off without doing anything else then reboot and I scan with the latest version and updates of Spybot, Malwarebytes and Eset Nod32, all three...
