New Tear Attack....on my computer.....HELP

Help. My computer keeps showing a "new tear attack" keeps occurring like one every couple minutes. I currently have McAfee virus scan 8 and firewall 5 for my computer, but is there another one you computer savy people could recommend?

Mod- I know this is not breaking news, I was just hoping to get some help from Freepers who know more than I about computers.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know much about computers, but a google search might give you the answers. Try these:

If your firewall is stopping them and only reporting them, you have nothing to worry about.

If the reporting is a nuisance you could reconfig the settings so the reporting is kept to a minimum.
