Exclamation HELP :D Possible Malware/Spyware/Virus?
Hello,

Recently, my browser has been getting several pop-ups. Additionally, when I search for something, like on Google, several pages of advertisements come up as opposed to legitimate links. A friend of mine had me download AVG and Bazooka (I think that's what it was called). I ran several scans on each. They both found threats, contained them, etc. but I am still having the same problems. Now, when I open Explorer or FireFox, AVG pops up and says that it's detected a threat from /Windows/explorer.exe (something like that). Lastly, lately about 2 out of 3 times I turn on my computer and log on, my screen is white and Vista informs me that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and has closed, which of course means that I have nothing on my screen but a cursor. Please help me. My computer is totally temperamental in the state that it's in so I may not be able to copy and paste a lot. I will try anything you tell me!!!!

Thank You,

Lauren
