One of the scams out there is a "company" taps into something on the computer and if you hit a combination of keys or go to a certain website, a popup will show up that tells you that you have a virus. And, of course, they'll fix it if you click "here" and then probably ask for money. Do NOT click on any of those popups. It just encourages them!!!! You more than likely don't have a virus........... click on the x box, log off all programs, and go to your virus protection program. Make sure it's updated and have it run a scan for you. I've had a # of these popups over the years and have NEVER had a virus....it's a scam.
