I’m running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion. Recently, I’ve been receiving numerous alerts that there is some kind of spyware on my computer, and to run a scan and active virus protection. However, I do not wish to do so as there is no sensitive information on my computer. The alerts are very frequent and interruptive, but I can’t figure out how to disable them.

When I first turn on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv2000), it loads and when it is about to go to the desktop it stays blank for like a minute, then it resumes. Anyone know how to fix this?

My laptop will not boot up and it keeps saying strings not recognized.I got the computer free and if its gonna be expensive I would like to know how much but if I can hook it up to my desktop or download software that would be better because I have no car or any body reliable to ask for a ride.It’s an HP Pavilion zt1000.
