I already have eTrust, but this random pop-up for an Anti-Virus scan kept popping up on my last session. Every time I tried to use my Task Manager
to close the window, it would stop me from being able to use it.

All my current open windows were out of view from this pop-up "demo", so I re-started, ran my task manager, and closed the program ASAP.

Here's my log, thanks!
