Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• What is the pops up windows showing up on the screen?
• Have you made any hardware/software changes?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
• What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824

Setting up a firewall provides basic protection against security threats before connecting to the Internet. You can use Windows Defender or other firewall software, such as McAfee Personal Firewall.

1. Using the search box on the taskbar, search for and open Control Panel.

2. Make sure View by is set to Category.

3. Click System and Security.

   

4. Select Security and Maintenance from the list.

   

5. Check the message under Review recent messages and resolve problems.

   • If the message is No issues have been detected by Security and Maintenance, security settings are up to date.

   • If a security alert displays, click Turn on now to activate the firewall.

     

Check for security software in Virus & threat protection in Windows Security.

1. In Windows, search for and open Virus & threat protection.

2. Click Manage providers under Who's protecting me?

   

   The security information displays.

   

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
