Help Help Help

Just over the past few days my computer in the bottom right hand corner has had a yellow triangle that just shows up flashing. I can not right click on it and if I do click on it I get some add about my internet explorer running slow etc. . offering me to purchase virus protection, malware protection etc. . I am also getting two pop ups that are of big concern as this is a family computer. One is gambling same pop up and the other is porn!

I have tried everything I believe. I have pop up controls on, I have adware, spy bot and it won't go away. My kids come into the computer and there is an ad for porn sites.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it very much. I have spoken to aol about this and they were no help.

Thanks in advance,
woodie46

    First of all, download smitRem - tool that removes all those "yellow trinagles" along with the trojans that display them. Unzip it and restart in Safe Mode. Then run smitRem.

    This should make all bogus messages disappear.

    If you have difficulties using smitRem, try this tutorial.
