Help, Firefox won't let me surf the net on my Windows program. Says I have viruses - Help!!!
Help me. Right now I'm on my "Ubuntu" program on this computer. IT also has Windows. A few minutes ago, on the Windows program, which I also use Firefox on, I got boxes popping up saying I am infected with viruses - dangerous- blah blah blah. I tried to go to www.avast.com to download their free anti virus protection. Firefox won't even let me search the web to get to avast. It keeps saying I'm in danger and is trying to get me to order a $79.95 version of Win anti virus. help me. Suzanne

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
