A few days ago I did a full clean install of a friends computer and hooked it up to my dsl line and downloaded some needed things for him (firefox, drivers, etc.) Everything seemed fine so I returned it to him. The moment he hooked up his cable modem....he got this annoying pop up that keeps mentioning that his computer is going to crash and needs to download blah blah blah. It sounds like to me that its a pop up add. Before I erased his computer and did a clean install,....he was having this problem. So I can assume its coming from his modem or the cox network. I walked him thru downloading "Avast antivirus" and the latest "spybot". My question is........where could this thing be coming from? Should I enable his windows firewall?
