856112 2010-02-07 07:55:00 How do I stop these silly balloons that keep popping up saying "Your computer may be at risk!!!" etc, etc

I don't use the XP firewall.
I don't allow automatic updates.
I have a better firewall & I do regular 'custom' updates.

How on earth can I stop these stupid pop-up balloons?
Any ideas welcome.........
Cheers

I just didn't know which 'rock' to look under.
Many thanks

AVG antivirus will not provide the optimum protection that your computer needs. The PressF1 community, as a whole, recommends Microsoft Security Essential as an alternative to all other free antivirus software available.

Check out www.microsoft.com for the download link.

What? I recommend Comodo. But MSE is probably still better than AVG anyway...
