Post #1
I've caught something on my pc that causes Internet Explorer to have popups to random sites that include media2.mediafileshost.com, smacchat.com, and some others… it also has popups for some sort of adware/malware cleaning software ads. And finally, when looking at some websites, some of the pictures or ads are hijacked with an ad that says Warning-Spyware (your computer may be infected with spyware) Free Scan! Also, computer is running much slower than it used to.


Can anybody help?
