Something is wrong w/ my computer. Lately, I have been getting alot of pop ups and since then certain websites do not show properly. I started having problems w/ pop-ups after my cousin used my computer to view porn. What should I do to get this corrected? Is there a program that I need to run to stop this? Please help.

Maybe your cousin changed the browser settings to not allow pictures. That would be the simplest solution. Go into your Preferences and look around and fix it. If that isn't the problem, well then I suppose you may have a virus, or more likely, some spyware, so get Spybot Ad-aware etc. Good luck. Chances are it won't be a big problem for you.

re: pop-ups. If you have the Yahoo toolbar, click on the down-arrow of the pop-up button and select "enable pop-up blocker."
re: Certain websites not displaying properly - might have to do with the level of security you have set. Check Tools, Internet Options, click the Security tab. I have mine set to medium. The messages will explain to you what each level does.
Suggest your cousin get his own computer and a program to get his mind out of the gutter.
