I Keep Getting Antivirus Pop Ups File

A timeline stares back: 2:13 AM, 3:47 AM, 5:02 AM. All while you were asleep.

You call your friend who “knows computers.” They ask one question: “Have you downloaded anything sketchy recently?” i keep getting antivirus pop ups

You step into your home office, coffee in hand, ready to start the day. Then it happens again. A timeline stares back: 2:13 AM, 3:47 AM, 5:02 AM

Your friend sighs. “Yeah. That’s probably it.” Then it happens again

The antivirus cleans them. Reboot. Another pop-up.

At first, you ignored it. Just a false positive, you thought. But yesterday, the pop-up appeared while your computer was idle. You weren’t even downloading anything. That’s when the itch started—the quiet, sinking suspicion that something is wrong.

Four hours later, you sit in front of a fresh desktop. No pop-ups. No strange processes. Just a quiet, clean machine.
