Well what if it came from a website. Like my dad goes to his video website that has a lot of viruses and pop-ups and that site might be the cuase. So system restore would put the cpu back to the state that it was before my dad visited the site but the virus would still be there?
the CPU is the processor btw. But yes, technically it's still there.
technically, the term CPU can also be described as the unit that "does the work". Therefore, the computer tower itself can be called a CPU.

As far as viruses go, I've NEVER been able to remove a virus with software. Norton, useless. AVG, useless. Adware/Malware blockers and removers, useless.

The only way I've ever been able to get rid of a virus/adware/malware, was by hard reformat.

That's correct. Mac's aren't as vulnerable to viruses as PC's, but they aren't completely immune. :no:

Could someone help me out...

I have pops up coming up every 2-3 minutes ,even when I turned on the "Disable PopUps" setting in Trend Micro and IE. It's still coming up. And when I started my computer, I got a warning message saying "Your computer has various signs of viruses and malware!!! Your system needs to scan for virusses immediately!!"
Then a program called AntiSpyware 2009 came up.

I just closed out of the program since I know based on the spelling and grammar that it's malware itself. Has anyone ever gotten this before? I'm doing a Trend Micro scan right now and it found no threats on my system but the popups still appear. AntiSpyware and Trend Micro are not related with each other AFAIk.

Phony antivirus...do NOT use it at all or allow it to install anything. Most of the time there'll be a program (in add or remove programs) with a name of the likes of "ShoppingAds Helper". Go ahead and remove it, and you'll see zero ads, or at least a reduction after that. Happened to me too.

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, so it should only be used to refer to the chip, not the computer itself.

I've had no success with software either EXCEPT the aformentioned Adaware and Spybot. Those two I've used with fantastic results since they came out.

If you continue to get that message, also, do not use your debit or credit card for any type of online transaction. I tried to buy me a new Cricket phone, and before you know it, someone charged about $65,000 on my card. Wells Fargo Called me saying that someone hacked into my computer and they took my credit card information through malware. It's all good now, they called me back and they said they arrested the person after a charge was trying to be made in the Sin City.
