    What did you install and what are you trying to open when you get this? What are you doing?

    I don't really remember installing anything. It just pops when I start windows and doesn't go away.

    Trojan viruses are among those that need the most help being installed by you even if you're not aware you're doing it...

    However..the majority of the other virus/worm types....don't need any interaction on your part. All you have to do visit a compromised web page, look at a downloaded video, listen to a corrupted song...or view a pic from an email from someone you don't even know.
