I’m getting a GDPR style pop up everytime I start my lap top.
It purports to be connected to a website but it’s there before I even start my browser. There’s nothing in the text that suggests where it’s actually from. There’s an X to close it in the top right and also I can click to Learn More, View our Partners or to Agree and Close. I’ve clicked the X each time so far.
Any ideas? My anti virus gubbins isn’t detecting abutting but it all feels very suspect.
Try opening Task manager and looking through everything on the Startup tab for anything you don’t recognise. On older versions of Windows, go to Start > Run > Msconfig and look through the startup stuff there.
Had a look googling the the message title and stuff but nothing is coming up.
Would maybe suggest:
Open Task Manager while the popup is there and see what is currently running in case there’s anything obvious
Ordering add or remove programs by ‘installation date’ and seeing what you might have installed recently around the same time as the box started appearing
biting the bullet and clicking ‘learn more’ to see where it takes you in case that gives you any hint
possibly doe ‘view our partners’ in case that offers other pieces of information.
