What AV application are you running? Does it have updated reference
signatures? What you are seeing is suggestive of a compromised system,
more likely though from unwanted adware, spyware or trojan than an actual
virus or worm. Do you run any anti-adware/spyware programs such as
Adaware or Spybot Search & Destroy?

Everytime i start up windows when all my start up programs have

internal state." if i leave the box things run fine, but as soon as i
click it everything dissapears for a few seconds and comes back, and
so does the warning.

please how do i fix this problem and what has caused it??
