Constant popup from ieavfreedownload.com How can I get rid of it?

Popup says system infected with dangerous viris. Recommend install antispyware program to clean system and avoid crash. I have Norton security.

Well, seems like ad-ware / spyware to me. If Nortons isn’t picking it up, then maybe your protection center is OUT OF DATE. Try doing some updating to your system and run some scans. If that doesn’t work, uninstall Nortons and install Spyware Terminator. http://www.spywareterminator.com
It’s completely free and works everytime.

Phony pop-up alert boxes, background changes or "balloon" pop-ups from the tray (by the clock) about a trojan, virus or spyware infection and the attempt to sell you some useless software to "fix" the problem usually indicates that your computer has a Smitfraud infection. DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR BUY THE PRODUCT THEY TRY TO SELL YOU! IT IS SCAM. It is really extortion-ware, first they infect your machine, then they want $$$ to remove it.

Sounds like your computer may have a variant of this ubiquitous Smitfraud infection.

Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG Anti-virus, Norton, McAfee or Spybot S & D cannot remove it, as you may have already found out.

Free specialised Smitfraud removal tool is here (SmitfraudFix)
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix_En.php

After running SmitfraudFix, to clean-up any remaining infection traces, scan for trojans,
and spyware and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus. Press "Online Scan" on the right.

Good luck.
