This window keeps popping up every 5 minutes even though I have clicked on the "DONT ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AGAIN (NOT RECOMMENDED)" option.

 

It can't be the hard drive surely, the laptop isn't old enough surely? Nor had a lot of use!

Hello

I have another screenprint of MSE showing that Virus:DOS/Rovnix.V has been detected but not found. How can this be? Surely if it has been detected then it can be found? Problem is this, I cannot upload the jpeg.

 

Pulling my hair out now!
