[*]Delete all of your temporary internet files. Go to Tools/Internet Options/ then either under "temporary internet files" or "browsing history" click delete...
[*]Go to www.Downloads.com. Get the free versions of AdAware and Search and Destroy. Run the updates. Scan your PC with both.
[*]Install antivirus (if you don't have it) run the virus definition updates. If you don't have antivirus or yours will not update, uninstall what you have then download the free version of AVG from www.Download.com, run updates, scan PC
[*]Keep running Windows Update until it tells you that you are completely updated.
