It sounds like adware, from your description, but it could also be a virus. So firstly do you have a virus program, if you don't I suggest Nortons AntiVirus (it's not free). If you already have virus software then a good program for adware/spyware is Ad-Aware (it's free).

Ad-Aware is good. I also use Spybot - Search and Destroy.

As for free anti-virus programs, I use AVG Free Anti-Virus.

Nice. Hmm this thread should become the official, "My Computer is Acting Like a Piece of Shit, What Should I Do?" thread.

Haha. I suppose you could call it that

Glad you fixed your computer though. Personally, when I used Window$, I used NOD32. Best there is ;)

^^, Hope do i install ram on my computer?? I'm having lagy problems and slow internet >_< and i bought some but have no clue how to put it in..[/b]

before doing anything check for spywares/adware and viruses. do diskclean up then defrag.
that should minimize some lagy problems.
