My computer has many problems with it. I know it has a virus because when i run Virus Scan it says that there is a problem and it needs to close. Here is a list of problems
1) I have a pop up problem where Windows Explorer opens up with a bunch of ads. I normally use AOl rather then WE

2) when i try to open up my documents using windows explorer, it appears for a few seconds and the screen turns red and i will not open. Is there a way around this

3) I tried useing the restore CDs that came with the Emachine and they seem to not work

thank you, Isaa
 
Hi Bowser,

1) Install and run Adaware from www.lavasoft.de

2) Install and run Spybot from www.safer-networking.org

3) Install and run Spyware Blaster from

4) Turn on the native firewall or install a third-party one (a third party
firewall will notify you of outgoing traffic as spyware programs "phone
home", the native one won't).
