I am the person referred to in the original posting of this title…i.e., the person whose computer is probably infected. Looking for help fixing the problem.
Here is the original posting of the odd problem. I have also inadvertently installed ICQ BOOTSTRAP since then.
"When I clicked on the Big Green Button for the E-mail List, I found 2011 and 2012 to be in blue and underlined so I clicked on them to find out what's what. Up popped ads for Awesome Penny Stocks!
I went back to the web page and found that if I hovered my mouse over 2011 I get the pop-up that says Powered by Text Enhance. Join the web's #1 free stock newsletter today. When I hovered it over the 2012 got a different one saying something about answering 1 question and claiming an iPad2. Hit refresh and the same pop-ups came up, but in different places.
Page in question is http://www.cranberrygathering.com/emaillist.html"
