Hello,

Since yesterday my computer has been acting very strange. Even though I use Firefox, I keep getting pop-ups for IE asking me if I am ‘sure I want to navigate away from this page?’ Every time I do, I keep getting AUDIO recordings, saying “Congratulations! You’ve just been selected to win a free Nintendo Wii,” and just right now it played an audio clip of Tina Fey appearing on Letterman talking about Sarah Palin.

I’ve checked all my start-up programs and task managers, and see that these audio clips stop only when I turn off Google Taskbar Broker, and two running Internet Explorer programs I have no idea about.

Ran a virus scan, and all is clean. What should I do?

Thank you.
I’m pretty sure my firewall is on, but how do I check?
Yikes! I just checked… my firewall was OFF! This is not good…

    Virus scanners don’t always get the ad type programs. Try this one http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

    You have a Trojan letting in those pop ups. Download Malwarebytes Antimalware and update then run a full system scan. Its better than Adaware and Spybot. http://download.cnet.com/windows/
