example. today i was trying to view my bank account balance. after logging into my account and accessing the account balance page, when i selected the account i wanted to view i was redirected to an x-rated website. each time i tried to use the back button i was redirected to another x-rated site. this happens from time to time at other websites. i'm not always directed to x-rated sites but i also get redirected to sites telling me my computer is infected and their site can fix it (I know this is bogus so i exit immediately). i'm assuming i'm a victim of something but i don't know what it is or how to stop it. please help. thank you

Hi, yes you are : 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.

If are uncomfortable doing any deleting and googling If have any torrent or cracked programs installed uninstall and go directly to the above URL for help from the pro's. Note there also can be left overs so it is a good idea to save your logs if clean your self and go.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

After the above, Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.
