I keep get a popup with the following"Update Alert" New version is available.Would you you like to download and install."I can click yes or no but nothing happens. How do I get rid of this?

Could be a trojan or spyware. Disconnect your internet.

Then run the usual maintenance procedures. Spybot, Adaware, ccleaner. Run in safe mode.

Also follow Curlyben's advice here, see second post.

you should be able to close the window by clicking the x in the top corner, dont click yes or no, does it say what the update is for? Maybe it's not spyware or a virus, to be sure its not spyware run spybot search & destroy, i dont know if this program was suggested but its a free download.

Can you try a system restore? choose a date as far back as possible, or before this started to happen.

Could it be this spyware? Call spydawn?
