Hi All,

This is an update to a problem I posted here previously. I solved part 
of it, but haven't figured out how to solve the rest.

In a nutshell, my laptop gives me periodic notifications to run an 
antivirus and anti spyware check, and I don't know where they're coming 
from.

I'm running Windows defender. Since I use my laptop only two or three 
days a week (mostly offline), I run a scan about once a week. I ran one 
at home this morning before taking the laptop to school. When I hooked 
the laptop to the overhead in my classroom, I got the antivirus and 
antispyware notifications twice today. The notifications are different 
from the ones I get from Defender.

I've had this problem since I bought the laptop. A couple of months ago, 
I went into Programs and features, Googled the programs I didn't 
recognize, and uninstalled a couple of things that included malware 
scanning. I stopped getting the notifications for a while, but as of a 
few weeks ago, they've come back.

My goal is to make them go away, but I'm not sure what program is 
producing them. they're very annoying as they come up frequently when 
I'm teaching. Nothing in the program list sounds like the culprit, and I 
only have this issue with the laptop, not the desktop, which is running 
the same version of windows.

Anyway ideas about where I can check?

I'm running 8.1 on an Aspire One.

Ciao
