Q: ok im really annyoyed right now.. i think i have a virus on my computer.

heres how it started:

i went to myspace layouts site and like a popup came up and i exed it out then my computer started freezing so i restarted it and then i saw an icon on my desktop it was like play poker for $10K and i deleted it then there was another one like FREE GAS (it came up right after i delted the poker one)and then internet explorer looks weird now. it says like mirar and there are tabs that say "dunham. baseball. job seekers. investing." but they change every time and now all i get are pop ups when im on AIM and they never came before.

so i was wondering do i have a virus? and if i do, how do i get rid of it?

thankss

my computer use to do that.. and it still kinda is. its spyware and what i do is go to control panel then add/remove programs and then delete the programs that were downloaded into your computer without you knowing, because mine did that. and then after your done with that, scan your computer for adware and spyware.. i use ad-aware personal and it works pretty good.. but theyre may be other good programs to get rid of spyware so you can try those too
