The pop ups have stopped - I noted in this thread actions taken within Avira to Quarantine, this and perhaps other programs removed most problems.... Avira scan still shows one warning. The message you highlight is no longer in the report. The Avira report does still show some invisible reports: 1) Starting search for hidden objects.

Once started, the rogue itself, like all other rogues, will scan your computer and state that there are numerous infections on it. If you attempt to use the program to remove any of these infections, though, it will state that you need to purchase the program first. In reality, though, the infections that the rogues states are on your computer are all legitimate files that if deleted could cause Windows to not operate correctly. Therefore, please do not trust anything it states are infections. You will need to remove this. The computer guy will probably reformat / return to factory settings.

Pretty neat stuff. An easier to use version of some of the standalone programs, like 3D home. I noticed they are missing a number of larger appliance sizes, like ranges over 30" and refrigerators wider than 36". It would be nice to make these things resizeable, as well as the cabinets, to get a perfect fit. I'll be using it to sketch out my next bathroom projects.

@harry_wild "know that in order to prevent a new virus or malware for your on going service; you have to get it from Microsoft in the first place!" You keep stating this, but provide no evidence. Why don't you provide some proof of it, if you think it's true. Just stating something doesn't make it true. . @ wolfie46 "Is there any problem running AVG and malwarebytes at the same time on a computer with windows 8.1?" Shouldn't be any problem. Although it would probably be a good idea not to run scans by each, at the same time.
