Historically there were complaints regarding v2.2. In response I never upgraded my prior system from the old reliable v1.6.2. I am not using SB at all on this new system as I find SAS and MWB sufficient. Since both versions are " All Windows versions" capable I recommend doing research as to current complaints. DA

ok you must have something else too in addition to the antivirus 2009 this is another program we use to clean this stuff it is also free get it and use it to scan. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware v1.18 should be able to remove this pest ... download it to the desktop. * Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. * At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish. * If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. * Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan. * When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. * Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware v1.18

Thanks to both of you. I found "hpwuSchd Application"in the start menu, but as the popup happened well after startup, I don't think that is what is doing it. More likely is what I found in HP Solutions. I hadn't even looked there before, and there were checkmarks in all three categories for automatically checking for updates. I changed them. Actually, this popup would not have alarmed me, were it not for the fact that it had no button there at all, and right after that, Windows 7 sent a popup about backing up, which I had not set for Mondays (though I had tried to do a manual backup a few hours earlier), so I got the idea that maybe my clicking on the HP popup triggered a key logger or something, which triggered the backup notice in order to capture my Admin password. Is such a thing even possible? I couldn't even close the popup using Task Manager. That was upsetting, too. Anyway, full scans with both MBAM and Superantispyware didn't find anything alarming, only a lot of adcookies in the case of the latter. The popup I got was pale blue and had a number of crosses or stars in it. Is that what you got, Raven? And was there actually a radio button, or did the whole thing act as a button? I was going to complain to HP about the shame of them (a computer company after all!) creating and sending out a popup with nowhere to click on. Now that I know that you got ignored, I won't waste my time. Aggravating, isn't it!

Perhaps you have Microsoft Security Essentials as a anti-virus/malware program that disables Windows Defender in Control Panel. Maybe look from the Start Button in All Programs for Microsoft Security Essentials. Update and do a full scan with that.
