    Is Nod 32 up to date? Try these Glarys Utilities, Spybot, all for free. Nod 32 is not a great AV Ive been using Avast it's free and updates it's self. Hope this is of some help

    Whilst Avast does a fine job for a free program, you are doing NOD32 an injustice by saying its not great. I'm being using it for years and find it to do an excellent job. Very low usuage on system resources and even with the regular updates it is not intrusive in any way.

    Nod32/Eset is arguably the best AV engine right now, though I think the suite lacks some extra features that weaken it overall compared to competitors like Kaspersky (arguably the #2 AV engine) for that function it generally leads the pack. I think there are 2 options:
    1. You have another infected machine on your network (making a big presumption you have one here...) and since you likely set your home IP range to be trusted for the usual file sharing etc. it is coming through via the malware's worm components and then being flagged when it hits your PC. If there are other machines on the network remove your trusted Zone from the firewall, essentially block all network traffic inbound and see if you still have the problem (also check the Firewall logs to see who is trying to connect). If you don't get the popups after this then on the other PCs use any online scanner you can from Safe-Mode (trend, bitdefender etc.) and then work your way up to installing a new AV locally - just installing another AV straight off will likely be useless as a lot of Malware can easily disable it during install.
    2. Nod32 has been compromised, the definitions might have been corrupted or it was simply modifed to skip the origin of the infection locally. Install Proceexplorer and TCPView and monitor both to see what is spawning these files and look for any odd network connections. Cross correlate this with anything on your Startup list (use an extensive startup checker like Autoruns or the Startup Control Panel to make sure you see all locations).
