Putlocker will load ,but when i click on the movie i want to watch it takes me to some random site that isn't even a movie site and not just one but it will open up about 10 windows all various sites not pertaining to movies at all. Alot of the time it will open up an X-rated game and then bells and whistles go off saying warning ur computer has been infected with a virus sometimes their posing as microsoft or windows warning me not to leave the page or they will lock my computer to prevent further damage . So i press alt f4 and and get rid of them. needless to say i still can't watch any movies.

Hi, ya that does happen there. If going to click 1st hover mouse over the link and look in bottom left corner to see where it is going to take you. If does not look right pick another site that offers it.

I would think that with all the stuff popping at you something has got through. Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech :

Save your Report and google each before deleting anything as do not want to delete something you need, If need help :

Post in only 1 forum, then wait.

With luck cleaning up anything that got past will fix why you can not watch now. Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
