It's not a common popup because the popup show up before the windows 10 bootup. But I already fixed it. I installed Super Anti Spyware and scanned my pc and it's gone now

Windows has an inbuilt tool called defender that you can use. What kind of popups are you getting? You can also use a free antivirus like AVG to see what's wrong.

Try to restart, if that doesn't work, run windows defender's antivirus program. That should resolve the problem.

I'm sorry I'm not a windows computer user. I'm on Mac. I don't really know how it can be fixed. Maybe try YouTube to find a quick answer and a quick fix?

I had the same problem. It is a virus. Some applications can delete it.

On my screen the icons are DCR, running man, T, Microsoft internet browser etc. Do you see the same icons? How did you manage to delete or solve this?
