I keep selecting NO but it still appears repeatedly.
Thanks.

You've been infected by a variant of the Vundo trojan and you need to
clean up your computer.

Do the preparatory work here:

Then do the specific removal steps here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please).

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA). The only
alternative to going through the malware removal tediously and
systematically, probably with online help from an HJT forum, and taking
the machine to a real professional is to back up your data and do a
clean install of Windows. It's your call. Please be aware that not all
local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your
computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be
clean-installed. Have all your data backed up before you take the
machine into a shop.
