No info via email, but install run adaware from www.lavasoftusa.com that

Get rid of the spy/ad/mal-ware first..

Spybot Search and Destroy

After you cleanup your PC somewhat of spy/ad/mal-ware, verify your antivirus
software is updated and run a full scan of your computer. If you have no
antivirus software - get one NOW!

Now - turn on that firewall...
