I'm not a computer person, so I have no idea what to do. First I will explain what happened.

I don't use Internet Explorer much, only Opera. The only time I use IE is when I need to watch something on overdrive, or need to go to certain sites because Opera doesn't work for that. Well last night I was on a REGULAR site for a spade league that I am in. All of a sudden a porn pic popped up. All I did was hit the X and it didnt do anything. So I just continued on my IE and left the page in the back. Then another one popped up, and another and another, and then my pc frozed. I restarted it thinking it was just something weird that happened.

Well I restarted my pc and when I did it had all these new icons (you know like my documents and my computer) appeared. I cant REMEMBER all of them but I know one said something about music and then "free porn" Then I clicked back on IE and it had a tool bar saying free porn and listing examples which i will not say. Anyways to get to the point, it frozed again. I left it off and turned it back on today. I only can use Opera but every time i turn it on it pops up with this Spy sheriff control thing saying I have to scan my pc.

If I do click on IE my homepage does not show. Before it freezes what I could read was something like "computer bots have your ip, they can see sites you go to, to FIX it click here." Of course I didn't click it because it could just be another virus.

Does anyone know what I should do??? PLEASE HELP.

Greatly Appreciated.Kay......You didnt mention which operating system you're using ........But in any event ...heres what I would suggest ..... Open your Internet explorer and click on tools ( up at the top ) ...then Internet Options ...then make sure your on the General page ....... and the click "Delete Cookies" .....when its finished click "Delete files" ....when its finished ...click "Clear History " ...then "Apply" and "OK"   What we just did was remove anything from the Temp Internet folder .

Now If you dont already have it installed ..........get SpyBot V1.4 ....... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2471.html
Once you have it downloaded ...open it up and click on the "Search for UPDATES" button .......a list of available updates will be shown ...tick them and download them .....when updating is complete click on "Check for problems" it will begin to scan .......when its finished you should remove anything it finds.

Then , if you dont have Ad-Aware SE installed .......Get it at ...... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html
and again after it has D/L open it and click on ...."Check for updates now" ...when the updates have finished click on "Start "  and when the scan is complete ....mark for REMOVAL anything it finds.

If you are using Win XP or XP pro ....you should also D/L
MicroSoft Antispyware Beta ........ http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
Once you have it installed ....run the scan and remove anything found ......

Now it would probably be a good idea the reboot your machine and see how things are .....

Let us know if the issue has been resolved or if not then we will do other things as well.
