When I log on my computer. I get baloons popping up from my task bar saying I have Critical System Errors and "System performance monitor: Warning type stuff. I was on myspace and tried to view a profile and it said I needed to download a "Profile Viewer" to view it. I should have known better, but stupid me downloaded it and now I'm getting porn pop ups and anti-virus pop ups a lot. My home page has changes and I have those earlier earlier mentioned error messages from my taskbar. Does anyone know anything about this? I have been doing a little research, and I think it is something called Virus Burst or something, but I'm practically computer illiterate. Please help!!!

I don't know if you have purchased McAfee antivirus. Obvious it has failed you. Turn off McAfee, as you can only run one antivirus program or you will have serious conflict with your system. If you have not purchased, download from the AOL link I gave you at the bottom and save to documents or any place in your system you want to save. Then shut down or remove Mcafee. So you will be protected while you download the free AOL antivirus.
And then find and open and run. As you
Download from AOL, their free for life antivirus program powered by Kaspersky LABS, Russia. This program for sure will remove the virus or viruses you have in your system. Then reboot.

You been by spyware or malware. You download Adware and spybot. I would run the computer in safe mode, then run those programs. Or, you make bootable cd and run those programs off the bootable cd.
