    Hey, I keep getting a popup saying 'system alert: trojan-spy.win32@mx' on my pc. I use mcafee to protect my computer, and when i clicked the system alert popup thing mcafee warned me that the site was unsafe. Anyway this thing keeps popping up every 5 seconds and is very annoying, should i be worried? Also what can i do to get it to stop? Thanks guys and sorry if this is a simple thing, I'm pretty much crap with computers!

    If the alert isnt from mcafee, its a virus. Run a virus scan with mcafee, or download Spybot search and destroy.
