    Please clarify your question.

    If you are asking for a reliable virus scanner then I recommend mcafee or any other top vendor.. properly configured and automatically updating the latest updates will protect against most malware. You can additionally install Spybot to protect against spyware/adware.

    If you are getting this message from a specific program and require assistance.. then please clarify what program...because it appears you have none.

    Good luck.

    For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir® PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than most "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. And did I mention that it's free!

    Download here:

    BTW, Avoid the free version of an anti-virus called AVG, it is wildly popular, but it has horrible virus detection capibilities.

    Enjoy!

    Comodo Firewall is very good if you know how to use it. I recommend Zone alarm its free for ever and its very easy to use and it does ask if you want to aprove to open everything, But thats normal.

    A good anti-spyware would have to be one of the following : Ad-Aware 2007, AVG Anti-Spyware, CWShredder, Spybot Search And Destroy, Windows Defeneder, Spyware Blaster. I am pretty sure all these programs are free forever too.

    This is also free forever

    Those are pretty good suggestions. I highly recommend getting ad-aware 2007, you can also get as many anti-spyware downloads as you want only one firewall though.
