I have noticed that some functions on my computer stopped working recently. For example, I click on Personalize to edit my desktop. Normally, the function would open the window but nothing happens. What is wrong? I do not have virus protection software, I handle viruses another way. However, I have never came across this problem. I have hid my desktop icons with the fences program and when I double clicked for my icons to reappear, I noticed there was an icon that wasn't there before. It was Norton Virus Protection icon. I have not installed Norton so I am guessing it could be that trojan that poses as Norton. I have restored my system right after I discovered that but it seems there are still some problems. Help please. (link)

Here's something annoying that is driving me nuts. I'm using Firefox on a Windows laptop. Lately it's randomly selecting words to double underline in green or orange. Click the words and you get advertising. Do I have a virus or is something I can turn off? If so how? I've seen other people online bitch about this but none have found answers so I'm putting it out to you guys. Hopefully, you know something. (link)

One day ago, I found that my computer received numerous ad pop-ups, so I ran my antivirus program and found Adware:Win32/Hotbar on my computer. I think it is the reason why my computer received so lots of pop-up advertisements. I have tried removing it with MalwareBytes but failed. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this infection? (link)

So I've had random tabs opening in google chrome. It often says "You have a spyware on your computer which is why it's slow.. Download (...) to get rid of it"
Am I infected? Or what does this mean? my antivirus program can't find anything ._. (link)
Well, you know this type of virus that you are describing is probably an adware or a spyware.Do not use the application google chrome because it may not be the geniu program and it might be a program that it leads you to malcious sites.What you need to do is go to this site by Mozilla Firefox:
