I keep getting these annoying java alert boxes saying I have a virus in one of the folders, but all of the files in it on my HD. I ran a virus scan, but it says it can't find any viruses. BUT...these damn alert messages keep popping up & it's drivin' me absolutely batty! Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this?
Please help...I'm begging you! For the love of god!

Dont expect much help from this board... if you'l notice, your thread had the least views in the whole page.

If you expect people to help ya here, don't put the word "help" in the title...

I'd help you but...I have never heard of nor seen what you are saying... But i would say you do have a Virus.... Make sure your Virus checker is updated... and try downloading AVG at...
www.grisoft.com it's a free Virus checker... i use it along with Norton... Are you using a free copy of McAfee...? Or you could have a Virus that is using an Alias...if so...the last time I saw this was YEARS ago...

Jeez! I can see everyone really helps when it's really needed. Thanks guys.

Turns out, it kept saying I had the Nemida virus or somethin'. Well, I updated my virus software, scanned all my shit a few times & it kept saying that there were no viruses detected. I downloaded the removal tool & ran it twice & both times it said there were no viruses! I don't get it...

Go to http://www.symantec.com and run their free scanner from THEIR system to be abSOlutely sure. A virus scan running from a seperate system can't be spoofed by virii like a scan from the HD its examining...

Takes some time for it to run and you are basically down while it runs since it might restart if you keep trying to work, but well worth the peace of mind. We run it monthly and it takes hours with all the gigs of HD we have. We do sleep well knowing it double checks our AV on the systems.

Those are not viruses. Those are pop ups. Nothing wrong with your HD. Try to install some program for pop up stopper. This will solve your purpose.
