Two weird pop-up messages?
Hey guys, I've had this error a while and I've ignored it thinking that it was Spybot Search and Destroy alerting but, but now that I've switched to SuperAntiSpyware I am questioned on why it is still appearing. I have two pictures, seen below:





Pictures were taken on same day, although Windows Defender doesn't seem to be telling the same story. :P

Okay, so, does anybody know what these are? I haven't been able to catch the process name, if any. It somewhat looks like the Windows Messenger "toast" when a user signs in, although the red line is different in the Windows Messenger version.

Anybody have any ideas?

If you do not know what they are or where they are from they could be generated by a virus or a trojan, so it would be best to scan your system for any unwanted programs or any programs you do not reconise.

For the 1st one, to fix it you must run msconfig.exe and set it to "normal startup"

As for the second one, run antivirus program and CCleaner

nmctxth.exe is Pure Netetwork's Network Magic application. Legit.

I'm not asking what the programs are, I'm wondering what's with the popup's themselves? I know this is not Windows XP, so I want to know what it is.

They're probably notifications from Network Magic.
