Solved
Popup
In Google Chrome, periodically a popup window appears, then disappears. It indicates something about needing to do a database update,This doesn't appear to be anything I have loaded on my computer. Could this be some kind of malicious threat, trying to get me to click on something? If so, how do I stop it? And is there a setting that will enable Webroot to detect this type of thing?

I would replace with this one as it's very good and most of us on here use it!
