Virus alert after time? As in it takes a while before randomly
kicking in? It sounds more like an action triggered by
malware which is misleading you in to believing that you
have a virus - particularly if it is suggesting you buy a new
program to fix the alert.Download Malwarebytes from above and run this to track
down any malware and remove it accordingly. You'll probably
want to run the usual anti-virus and spyware scans while
you're there.
