I have two problems. If my computer is running but all
programs are closed (just desktop is showing) after a
brief period of time, pop-up ads begin coming up. If I
leave the computer running when I go to bed, in the
morning it is not uncommon to have 40+ pop-up ads sitting
on my desktop, most with security warnings seeking my
apporoval before downloading software. I am familiar with
pop-up issues when you are surfing but have never seen
system-initiated pop ups like this. I have deleted all my
cookies and temp internet files, run McAfee virus scan and
McAfee Disk Clean product but still can't get it to stop.
Second problem is that I can no longer get to known sites
like Google. If I type the address in the address bar I
get a response that says there is no registered domain by
that name. I am at a loss but obviously something has
gotten into my system. I have re-downloaded the most
recent version of IE from Microsoft and that didn't fix
anything.
Help!!!
