Thanks cybertech
I was online doing research last nite and the pop ups got so bad that what I did was got rid of all the hosts links and any link associated with yahoo (ro-r1) when i clicked on yahoo i would get the link tops4website.com and 67.15.114.74/searchresults/check.php?id=2975' instead of the web page... when i clicked them off and rebooted I finally got rid of the popups!! I think that my son was on Youtube and was downloading videos from there which resulted in these errors... but i did not know that my java was out of date...so thanks for the links to download a newer version and the host links also..
thanks again

 

You're welcome!
