So this keeps popping up every single time I open IE, and every time I go to a new page: http://i13.tinypic.com/2qnmaz8.jpg

Notice it says "Program". I restarted my computer, and it said I needed to change the name of C:\Program to Program1, and Norton popped up saying this: http://i10.tinypic.com/3yzzynt.jpg

Notice there are the actual files under C:\ What the heck is this? I keep trying to search for it, but I just get searches turning up general questions about a "program" or the windows pop-up. UGH!

I keep getting alot of pop-ups on my Mozilla Firefox. I understand it has a built in pop up blocker, but it's not doing the job. I'm thinking about norton internet security, I own it, but I've read some questions on yahoo answers that people are having trouble with it. I also thought about the google toolbar, but as I understand it, toolbars can slow down your internet and computer. I just need a few links to downloadable pop up blockers that don't come with alot of spyware, viruses, and tracking cookies.

I also have AVG anti virus and AVG anti spyware. I run those daily and still I get pop ups. I haven't ever had a problem with pop ups.

I have windows defender, system suite 6, AVG anti virus free, AVG antispyware free, and hijack this. Is there the possibility I could remove whatever malware or spyware or viruses or trojans with the tools I have?

Thanks,

-JR

Today i found that i had 11 receipts showing that i had paid for products which i had not ordered, which cost up to $128.00. So someone abroad has taken money from me without my notification. I filed the case to paypal. Do they give my money back? AND WHEN DO THEY REPLY? Do you reckon i will get my money back? Has this happened to anyone? I read several cases where people have not recieved there money back. Im worried. They've emptied my account. And that money was for my school travel for the year. Damm. HELP ME,WHAT DO I DO. I DONT WANT TO INVOLVE THE POLICE YET.

This is weird to me. If I go onto yahoo & search for something (like vitamins or dog illness), I'll get a lot of emails sent to me from unknown sources that are related to the topics. How can I tell if my computer has been compromised in some way? I do have spybot which comes up with nothing. This is my work PC so I am firewalled. It started happening a few weeks ago.

I know there are an y number of anoymizers that will hide my ISP, but I had one (paid for it) when I had a PC. That one could toggle on and off and thus could go to all the sites I wanted with my ISP concealed. Now I have a Mac but the company that had the toggling anonymizer does not off their software for Mac.
Anyone know of a anonymizer that can be toggled on and off so that I do not need to put in a URL each time I go to another site?

I heard that the address bar should ONLY read 'http://', and i noticed that this (https://) only appears when i go to sign into yahoo! mail. I also noticed the page itself looks as if it has been kind of photocopied and fake? should I be concerned and contact yahoo! security?
