I don't think it's abnormal; guys DO look pretty gross. But then, I'm a straight guy. Still, I don't think you need to worry about it.

I'm guessing that you think you might be gay, and I guess that's possible, but what you've described doesn't make it sound as if you are, now. You're awfully young; at this point, it's too early to worry about that stuff. Whatever you are or will be is pretty much out of your control anyway.

Now, let's talk about the SERIOUS problem: the pop-ups.

Your system has been badly infected. Odds are that your Registry has been compromised. That has happened to me twice, and it's always nasty.

There are a number of steps that you need to take. I can't *guarantee* a cure, but I've used these programs to clean a number of computers that have been seriously compromised.

First, download and install these programs (they're all free).

Ad-aware from Lavasoft - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Spybot-Search & Destroy - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

SpywareBlaster - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

And if you don't have an antivirus program that is being updated DAILY, you might want to uninstall your old antivirus program (assuming you have one) and install AntiVir - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Once you've installed those programs, update each one of them immediately - they make it pretty easy and obvious. You need to get them *fully* up to date. Then run a full system scan with each program, starting with your antivirus (or AntiVir). Oh, you won't be able to scan with SpywareBlaster; it doesn't have a scan option, it just blocks spyware.

This MIGHT save your system. I've used that combination of programs successfully on several systems (not mine, they belonged to some friends), and they've pretty much brought those computers back from the dead.

Additional steps: you need to update Internet Explorer, if that's what you're using. This whole problem probably happened because you're using an out-of-date version. So update it like this:

1. You must be connected to the internet.

2. Click on "Start".

3. Assuming that you have Windows XP, click on "Help and Support".

4. Under "Pick A Task", click on "Windows Update".

If you don't have XP, try Start > Help and search for "Windows Update".

It would probably be a good idea to stop using Internet Explorer and switch to a different browser. I use FireFox, and it's much more secure than IE. It's free, and you can download it here:

You can protect yourself in the future by being extra careful when you're online. NEVER open an email attachment unless you not only know who it's from, but are EXPECTING it. Be very careful when visiting lyric or porn sites - those are the most likely to infect your system.

Make sure to keep all of your protective software updated at *least* weekly, if not twice a week. And scan every time you update.

If all that doesn't help you, I'm afraid you'll either have to find someone who really knows their stuff to go into your Registry and clean it out, or take your system to be professionally cleaned.

Good luck!

Well, I wouldn't get all worried about it. Looking at the same sex and being normal about it is perfectly fine. It is hard to find the right words to put down. You are female so you are used to those body parts but the body parts on males isn't what you are used to. There is nothing to freak out about really. My advice probably hasn't helped any but I tried my best to help.

At your age, yes. You are still young, so you are not fully into the whole love thing yet. You will be soon enough. Wait until you are 15. That's the true deciding point.

Erinn_the_bamf answered Tuesday September 6 2005, 1:59 pm:
No it's normal. Probably part of the reason is you know what your gender looks like and it's kinda knew to see theres (you know what I mean you see them everyday but not down there). There's nothing wrong with you, you just know what's a a female and your getting older and it's probably the first time you relly saw a guys parts. Don't be worried.

Yes its normal. The girls are no mystery after all. The guys...well I'm sure the ones in the pop ups look a little intimidating to say the least! You are perfectly normal! :)
