4. Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html, and run CCleaner

6. Download, and install free ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/, which will give you real-time protection against malwares.
It won't interfere with your antivirus, nor firewall.

7. Let me know, how your computer is doing.
I did the last two things you mentioned. I downloaded CCleaner and ran it.

And I've downloaded the threatfire.


Someone whatever those problems were I had, they aren't completely gone though.

One of the things that would happen is when I would have a browser open, for no reason at all an add would POP open on a full browser. Many of them saying, windows has detected a problem, do you want to run a scan. Now, I know better than to click on any of them, and just closed them.

So today, when I have a browser open, same thing happens, but INSTEAD of their being an advertisement, blank browsers keep opening up. Just like before but without the advertisements. ( so far)

Is there anything else I can do?

thanks,

Is IE your default browser? Do you have pop-up stopper enabled?okay, I ran threatfire, rebooted, and I think everything is good now. I havent seen anymore of those browsers just automatically open.

Whewwwwwww.

Thanks for helping a helpless girl out. I appreciate the time and effort you gave me.

Very good. Keep me updated, if anything shows up
