Annoying, Potentially Harmful Downloads

Sometimes over the summer, I think I accidentally downloaded something harmful, though it thankfully has yet to do actual harm.

It's a thing that pops up on my screen some minutes after I sign onto my computer, every time I turn my computer on. Then it starts some scan to see how at-risk my computer is.

I always cancel the scan before it finishes, but it always tells me the final outcome of the scan anyways. And my computer, according to this scan, is always at extremely high risk.

So of course it wants me to let it clear out those "risks."

I was not born yesterday, scanner. I have been deceived by similar things before and it completely destroyed my computer. I will no longer fall for your fake helpfulness. =_=

So after I cancel the scan itself, I have to exit out of the program separately. Thankfully, just having that scan on my computer doesn't seem to do any damage. I guess I'd have to give it permission to do damage before it can.

I will never give that permission, do you hear me, scanner? e_e

I wish I had never gotten it onto my computer in the first place. I don't even remember why I let it download in the first place, or even how. And it seems non-deletable; every time I try and think I've succeeded, it still pops up every morning when I turn my computer on.

Sigh.
