I keep having this pop up on my screen and it's very annoying. Does anyone know what it is and how to stop it from popping up?

    npf.sys file is a software component of WinPCap by Riverbed. WinPCap is a packet sniffing tool that provides access to link-layer networks for Windows machines. Npf.sys is a filter driver that is essential for the functioning of WinPCap.

    Look through your installed programs if you have WinPCap installed.

    Do you have Wireshark installed? If so, uninstall it.

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: msconfig

    Hit Enter

    Go to the services tab

    Check the box, hide all Microsoft services

    Disable the remaining services

    Click Apply then OK

    Restart if prompted

    I looked for it in my installed programs and nothing is there with that name. I also did the Windows + R you explained and it still pops up.

    Are you running Wireshark or any other packet sniffing software?

    If so, reinstalling it should fix this popup . . .
