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.

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.

Your computer is about to conk out. That "AntiSpyware 2009" if it was installed, try at all costs to delete it. If it doesn't delete, back up all your data and reinstall Windows. That has happened to me as well, so I knew exactly what to do. I hate viruses.

Lamarr is absolutely correct. Your computer is virus infested. I would recommend backing up the important data, and reinstalling windows. I would go with Ad block for Firefox in the future. Sorry, Victor

Could I do a system restore?

maybe

I'm going along with the maybe. Even if you do a system restore, the virus will technically still be on your computer, because you're able to undo a system restore you just performed. You may be SOL if your antivirus program isn't able to remove it.

It's completely fine with me. I didn't like them from the start.

TWC should have asked the opinions of their viewers, since they are a business solely there to provide to the consumers.

The Weather Channel's not obligated to do so. As Martin said it best:

The average person, 99.9999% of TWC viewers could care less about what the icon is. They are there for the weather.

Now I want them to use the old icons as much as you do, Aaron, it's just, unfortunately, not going to happen. You also have to take into consideration, that we are only part of a minority of people. I'm not trying to be mean in any way.

They showed behind the scenes meteorologist Adam Dean and he was talking weather (of course) and it also gives us an idea how the Titan HD Radar (Titan source #5) is run...

IS failure- satellite LF normal music 9:40 PM ET

EDIT: Comcast commercials are airing at 9:41 PM ET during the broadcast.

Are you sure?
It looked (and looks- got a recording) fine to me

It was probably just a local issue that only effected Mike's STAR.

It affected mine too. I saw the same thing.

Verizon FiOS, and I LOVE it.

And I envy you. I want FiOS so bad, but it STILL isn't available here. 

It'll never be available in my city/neighborhood Tyler's lucky.
