the vistaprint business cards "you've been selected" ads do offer you something, even though you do have to pay around $5-$6 dollars for postage for the cards.  But this "PC performance is poor" is probably going to take you to some site that has a diagnostics program that will cost you to find out how your computer is performing.

 

As I said in my first post, I just ignore it.  Hard to believe that logging into eBay will result in a scan of my computer performance and a banner coming up to let me know that my computer performance is poor.  My virus software would not permit a scan of my computer without first alerting me and asking me if I would permit it to happen.

As k1000 said, it is supposed to fix the viruses on your computer but often it IS the virus.
