Hitman alerts
I have Hitman Pro for protection on my computer and the only time I get Hitman Pro alerts that a virus is attacking is when I am on TOTV?

I use Norton360, and in the past I did get several warnings about spyware, I have not seen any recently.

Spyware, not virus.
It is likely that you are being pinged by spyware which simply reads what advertising web sites you go to and then inserts similar product advertising here. I often see my information line (lower left of screen) indicating that doubleclick (a spyware program) is loading.
Spyware is not a virus, but many people resent it and try to guard against it. Here is a test: go to a site like Home Depot and search for something like a hand drill. Then watch to see if you get pop ups for hand drills as advertising on this site. If it happens it probably denotes spyware is looking at you. |
You can also delete cookies and browser history to eliminate some of these alarms, however, it might cramp your style when you are browsing.
