Today all of a sudden, I am facing this problem. Whenever I'm running Google
Chrome (which is my default browser) or just logged on to my laptop, I am
getting this pop-ups that show this message [link below].

Initially, I thought it may due to some virus or something, so I scanned my
computer with McAfee Enterprise. Then scanned with Malwarebytes to look for
malwares. In both cases, no infection/virus was found. I also uninstalled
Chrome & then reinstalled, but that still did not work.

So, I opted-out for the last resort, I went back to a previous restore point
from last year so that there would be no problem whatsoever. Now after that,
I still get these pop-up messages. While typing this question, I've received
the pop-up more than 5 times. Just to mention, I've tried to resolve the
issue from Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176646)
That did not work either.


So, PLEASE anyone help me out what this issue is & how should I resolve the
problem.

Thanks

PS - I've tried what the pop-up showed as the very first solution. Then I
opted-out for the other help.

It appears you may still have malware. Run more updated
anti-spyware programs. No single program to date catches
everything. There is also the very slight possibilty you have
malware that's not known to your scanners yet too.

For spyware you need to run superantispyware from superantispyware.com
or download.com Malwarebytes handles many types of malware, but doesn't
always get the spyware.
