Heya all, this is probably the first time I've posted in this part of the forum but I am in serious need of help here.
My computer has been acting up lately. I have been using IE all these while (finally switched to ForeFox today, thanks to Happydude's persistance) and I think that has caused a significant amount of damage to my computer. I get gazillions of pop ups in a day (sometimes up to 3 per new page I open) and I am sure I have plenty of spywares and viruses going on as well.
Being the computer retard, I need someone to tell me what to do now:
-how to get rid of the adwares (which adware/spyware software to download)
-where to get a proper anti-virus software (mine expired... a year ago *runs and hides*)
Generally, how to clean up this thing. Everytime I shut down my computer a lot of warnings will pop up, saying that there are processes that I haven't finished and if I want to end the program now.
I have thought about reformatting my computer but I have way too many files that I need and I am not sure how to back everything up.
Sorry for the long post... and thanks for reading this far
