    NO, DON'T DO IT!!! Haha I never pay attention to those popups, but they do get annoying after a while. Restart your computer the next time you decide to take a poop or something else that'll keep you busy :D

    If your laptop effected by worm/trojan, then you are in trouble. If you have scan it and make sure it is 100% safe, restarting the os may fastern the performance and i suggest yes.

    When did the message started popping up?
    After a software/plugin installations? update? If yes, then you should restart.

    just restart for the sake of it, generally its good to let the machine start again whnever you install something or other. also when your pc is asking you, should be followed :D

    restarting is always a good thing. leaving it for 7 days without restarting is not.
