How can I get rid of it. It keeps on telling me to get anti virus pro 2009 because my computer has a virus or something, and I don’t want to buy an antivirus right now. It won’t go away. I must’ve temporarily fixed when it blocked me from going onto my mail because it was “insecure internet activity” and it gave the option of continuing(which was supposed to be able to be clicked on, but did nothing when clicked) and the other option which just sent me back to the antivirus site.
Now my taskbar gets pop ups that my computer is infected and I should download the thing to stop the virus. It’s so freaking annoying, I just want it to go away and quit spamming me. On a side note if there is a free antivirus from online that works well that could be helpful too. I just can’t focus with the thing popping up in the corner like every 2 minutes.

Maybe you can temporarily disable it in the Task Manager, not sure.
ctrl+alt+delete to get task manager. Click the Processes tab, see if you can find it, highlight it, then at bottom click End Process button.

Also look for ccleaner
Might consider to do a system restore, but still run an antivirus and the ccleaner.
