I’ve bought a used computer from a friend and every time I log online I keep getting these pop up windows telling me that my registry needs cleaning and that it requires immediate attention. They provide a website (www.helpfixpc.com & www.winregistrycleaner.com ) advising me to download, update and run the software. Please help I don’t know if this is a virus of some sort and I can’t seem to get rid of it.
My pc details are:
