Virus Question.

[de8212]

Not sure if this is a virus but wanted to ask here. About once every 5 minutes a "flash" of a pop up windows comes up on my screen and then disappears so quick I can 't tell what it is. Just noticed it today. Haven't installed any type of"untrusted" softare recently.

I have been running Microsoft Security Essentials since I installed W x64 a few weeks ago.

I know, not alot of info I can give but just this quick flash of a pop up. PC is acting normal, no other suspicious activities.........yet.

Just downloaded Avira Antivir and will run that.

if avira doesn't find anything, i'd run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware...it's pretty awesome. i purposely opened a find avira told me was malicious, and malwarebytes cleaned that sucker right up

Avast! + SuperAntiSpyware + Malwarebytes usually gets everything. If those three don't get in (in that order), then I reformat.
