i was googling on the new linkin park CD and why some songs like "one perfect something" wasnt on it. so i clicked one of the links and it showed the list of songs from the advance CD. so i was reading it and was lie "oooo" but in seconds leter, my googled toolbar repedily said "pop up blocked" more than 10-20 times in 5 sec. it seemed the URL said adultworld.com or something so i immediatley cliicked out. jus to find the retarded "diskcleaner" or w/e its called that says

"ur comp keeps track of all adult sites u visited,which can contain viruses, clean these out with diskcleaner"

i knew it was a fake so i x'ed out, but it brough up internet explorer and to the diskcleaner site, which i x'ed out but comp froze. so i manullay turned off

now when i go on, i get thousands of pop-ups, and things run a bit slower. ive run Ccleaner, spy bot search and destroy, and superantispyware( which works really good for me) which did do a bit, but i still get tons of pop ups. so some1 on yahoo, and many aggreed to get NoAds, which blocks any pop up not wanted the first time u see. but i STILL get pop ups and sometimes i try to go on IE and screen doesnt come up, but the thing at bottom screen at toolbar does, then disappers. same happens with bottom right of screen icons on toolbar.

plz idk what to do, i have so much data on this computer some1 help :(

one more thing, after this happened, there was this thing, webbuying, that wont go away, all the things above (ccleaner, spybot search and destryo etc) said it deleted from system but it isnt and it makes alot of the pop ups.

I can think of a couple things, don't know how well it will work though. Clear your cache and history in all of your browsers. Look in add and remove programs and see if you have any spyware and try to delete them. Go to your hdd and see if theres any new folders in that directory, and try program files too. Also, have you tried AdAware?

Well, those could be anything. Try running adaware and see what it finds.

Are you using IE as your browser?
That's a bad idea...I suggest switching to either Firefox or Opera.

And do you have an antivirus installed? If not then you better get one, google for AVG, it's completely free of charge.

Get FireFox it is so much better and you can Download Approved Plug In's like Ad Block Plus and install them into fire fox so that they may keep you safer...along with it's pop up blocker plug in...and some other stuff like harmful script remover

Actually Fire Fox has a plug in called Faster Fox...it actually decreases page load time...although for me my internet is already really fast..I can load a TH page in about .67 seconds :D

Well Fire Fox is a browser...and use it is pretty reliable...hasn't done anything wrong to me yet and you still have to pay Road Runner for the Internet Access...you will most likely get the same speed...or it will be faster...you still need RR for the internet access though....

The browser doesn't change your ISP nor does it affect them in this case
