How can someone in this day and age not know what to do?
You have adware or spyware. You've been on websites you shouldn't have.
Download AVG.
Download Ad-Aware.
Download another anti-spyware of your choice.
Then, your problems will go away.

Re-route your AMD into the USG stream and then Connect the USB cable to your computer port and Close all your JTS connections
That should do it :P

unfortunately, i think the problem had to do with my father.
He was on the internet and he got something that asked him if he would like to dl something that blocks spam. According to him, my little sister distracted him, and he clicked yes, and that is where all our problems started.
Idk, he may have lied, because my father is techinolically impaired, he may have thought that that would be good for our computer.
Note @ sunrise, yeah, i have viewed porn before, but im not stupid enough to do that on my own computer. xD

I thought I'd seen this thread before. Yes, this is odd. But Yoma, follow the advice and you'll be fine.

Firefox stops pop-ups, but the bad stuff is still there on your computer.
Firefox's pop-up blocker is like locking the front door to your house. It's fine if your computer is fairly free from infection. But if your computer already has stuff on it, it's a little pointless.

i just want to add, McAfee is probably THE worst anti-virus software around. Kaspersky is probably the best right now, but it tends to be slightly more expensive than other brands, however it sends out new definitions every day.
@Shanks, to play in a window, you need to click the "window" mode box, and lower your resolution so that it is 832 / 632 (i forget the exact resolution, but its something like that.)
