I have the above code added to my list of startup programs on my work laptop. I keep getting an annoying message because of an issue with my antivirus software. Eventually the problem will be fixed the right way, but for now I wrote the above script to kill the repeating window. This script consumes a lot of CPU power, so I want it to automatically close after 30 seconds. But it doesn't close after 30 seconds. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you are in an endless loop so it never reaches the Sleep command. Try using SetTimer
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetTimer.htm

does the error continuously pop up forever? or only for a certain amount of time or popups?

you could have it loop with a sleep of around 100 that detects when the popup exists, then closes it after.

what to do:
find the title of the popup window, make sure it's not a variable name in the title. if it is a specific title, great.
use:

If necessary, (to make sure you find the right window) add a comma after this code and include some text IN the window that will always show up. i.e. the name of the file or error or warning.

so you could use:


NOTE: this should work if memory serves me right, and the cpu usage isn't bad. i have code somewhere to do something similar, so if this doesn't bring down the cpu usage...holler back and i'll check it out.
this code was not tested.
