Hi, I was on an avitar chat room, and someone said that this was the computer tracking software, and you have been tracked. Your computer will shutdown in a while. What is that??

sounds like a fake message trying to entice you into buying some sort of virus protection. Did the computer actually shut down on its own?

Anytime a popup message like that appears while surfing, just press the X too close the window.

Yep, fake message but I'll bet you were using IE? Download Firefox... it has better built in protection against unwanted pop-ups and spyware.

k, thanks
