Should i be worried and how i can delete this virus its rlly annoying when it pops up every 2 min?
Well it would appear that this Premier Opinion is creating temporary files that are considered adware.
Did you install Premier Opinion and if so for what purpose ?
The reason I ask is that some of these things that purport to help the user actually gather marketing data to use for targeted adverts and as such considered adware.
i suggest you do a boot scan with avast and let it send want it finds to the chest.

a second opition is to download malwarebytes antimalware and scan with that and see what it finds.
don’t forget to update it first before you scan.
good luck and let us know how it goes.
I had PremiorOpinion installed when i bought this PC so i dont rlly know what its for. Ill do bootscan now…
3 infections found 1 was in mIRC and other was in premiopinion mpropn.exe i moved it to chest or deleted, btw after boot scan it had like 1000s of things that my pc could not achieve that file type or sumthing i just kept deleting but they didnt end so i pressed ESC after like 10 mins of deleting
Win32:adware-gen[Adw]
and Win32:MIRC-Z
Well a google search shows it is not something that you really want on your system with others also considering it adware.
Also see, http://www.systemlookup.com/search.php?type=filename&client=malwaresearch-ff&search=pmropn.exe.
So I suggest that you look for an uninstall function for it.
I looked a bit and found this http://www.greatis.com/appdata/d/p/pmropn.exe.htm and look here aswell http://spywarefiles.prevx.com/RRAHCJ44329803/PMROPN.EXE.html
