I would suggest 1st downloading the latest updates to your virus and spyware
softwares, run a full system scan.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
 
Why don't you ask butts to stop provoking responses with his unethical

Seems like you two have got a bit of an argument going on ;-)
 
What do you mean by "you two" my reply was to you not him. I have not
replied to any of his posts in well over a year. but a lot of good that
does. He is a sick cyber stalker. He replies to every post I make because he
is sick, you should feel sorry for him as I do.

Lythos has repeatedly stated he'd be willing to drop the whole thing if PC
would simply remove any/all references to him in his posts, including the
sig.

As yet, PC has not complied.

Draw yer own conclusions.
 
Leythos was stalking me way before I put his name in my sig, at least 3
years before. That was reason I put up a disgusting website about him and
added him to my sig. So the fact that his name is in my sig has nothing to
do with it. The guy is obsessed with me. He is sick. He does not offer any
help in any of these groups, all he does is look my posts and reply to them.

What part of, well ... MANY of the posts he's made recently, saying he's
willing to drop the whole thing if you remove his name from your sig have
you failed to comprehend?

He's extended the olive branch. It's now up to you to either accept it, or
continue to look foolish, IMO.

You mean you actually removed his name from your sig (for more than a post
or two) and he continued to "stalk" you?
