Thanks so much RUGK. You are a kind soul taking the time to help me, I'll try to give it back to the universe, and may good karma come your way. I didn't get to this because I was away, but I still have the problem. I will be working on your comments!!

I didn't take any action because I only get the message intermittently and didn't have time to fool with it. I disconnect. What I don't understand is what is calling for the download. I deleted all the downloads in all my browsers. Is there something on my computer calling to download this file? If so, why can't I stop the action? It can't be just the Internet attacking me and trying to throw something on my computer, right? So I should be able to make a change to my computer to stop this download action once and for all. I am not sure whether this SlowPCFighter is an actual threat. This program is offered on SpamFighter. I do use SpamFIghter, which is an anti-spam email program I have been using for 2 yrs and is a legit program that never caused me problems. I do know I don't want it or need it. Right now I see my only option to download the SlowPCFighter, then uninstall it immediately, then do a deep ESET scan. There has to be a better way.

Thanks Marcos. I think this is likely some type of browser add-on prompting me to do this. I don't see any recently installed programs that are suspicious and I deleted the recent ones and updates. Am I right in that this is likely not a "virus" on my computer, that is why ESET is not finding it, but a browser problem. But I don't know how to get rid of this message prompt, which I seem to be getting almost every time I open my computer. Since I use 3 browsers, maybe I should try to isolate it and by leaving one at a time open when I close my lap top and see which browser is associated with this.

I keep getting a repeated threat found warning when i wake up my computer. I've attached a screen shot of the warning message. I did a deep scan of my computer, but I continued to receive the warning message. Also, the ESET popup is confusing. I only have a Disconnect or No Action option. Disconnect from what? i assume it's a web site throwing something at me. Shouldn't I somehow be able to remove what is causing this from my computer? Thanks! Otherwise, I love the ESET anti virus program.
