[QUOTE="Joss, post: 456471, member: 46321"] I believe I explained it quite well above, but I am continuously redirected and bombarded with pop up ads. I am unaware what I downloaded or clicked that caused this to happen (In other words I am simply unaware of the origin(s) of these ads) There are times when I can't even click on the page or else it will open up another ad. The pages I am usually redirected to are often 'PC help' or something giving me a warning that my computer is infected with a virus and I am 'urged to call the number on the screen.' In fear of damaging my computer further I have refused to download anything provided on those screens and I refuse to call the numbers- since I am unsure if they are really going to help me or cause more damage. I had an anti-virus program installed on my laptop when I first got it, but I need to renew it- and I am a little low on cash so I have not considered paying to renew the program. I apologize if I am making things difficult by being in my current predicament, but if there is anything I could do then I would be forever grateful for the help. [/QUOTE]
