Hello,

When I get online , a browser window opens up and the URL is : (dont go there ! ). Then it forms a frame around the edge of the browser and prompts me to download a wallpaper. I click no and it reappears a couple of times before leaving. Computer seems to be acting slow since this happened. I did and virus scan with Stinger , which eliminated two viruses , but this still happens. Any ideas ? Thanks..................
 
Alrighty,

First things to do...

Run this online virus checker


Pull down two of these three (personal favorites), update and run them. They are spyware/malware removal tools.

Spybot ttp://
Adaware -
MS -
Lastly,

Download and run hijackthis, this will tell you what process' are running on your system. Be very careful with this (and all these utilities) as you can do some system damage by removing files and registry entries.

Hijack this -
