    Windows Security Alert popup


    I'm dying with this problem, here's an image of what keeps popping up every time I open an app
    Windows Security Alert popup [​IMG]

    I keep pressing to allow the app through private and public but once I open the app again the popup appears, I've formatted my laptop twice and went back to Windows 8.1 but it still appears, the problem is even if I allow the app through firewall it still won't work properly, for example it won't allow me to send and receive using SHAREit, please help.

    :)

    Red Screen problem

    Is it the red screen that says “Internet Security Alert” that claims your computer is infected? Loud raucous audio message with it?



    Is it the same popup that’s shown in this thread?

    If so (or if it’s a similar popup), see the Answer of Bruce Hagen in the above thread and follow
    his advice.



    That popup has been dealing various folks (myself included) problems after accessing the Yahoo e-mail webpage. I’ve had to close out of the browser using task manager on several occasions.



    Ironically it’s happened to me using different computers but never occurred to me while using my Win 10 that’s protected by Windows Defender.

    Windows Security Alert popup

    You don't have another firewall running on the system right? Just Windows Firewall, right?

    Let's try running the system file checker to see if there is any corruption. Open an admin command prompt and type Code: sfc /scannow[/quote] . It should complete with "no integrity violations found".
