How to get virus out of computer? - Austin T. - 02-28-2013 08:31 AM
Well there are a lot of advertisements along big websites like facebook, yahoo, and youtube.
Those advertisements seem know the area I live in, and it's either: a dating website or a video chat or a computer fix thing.
How do I fix this?
Is this a virus?

not nec a virus.
this comes from sites you use which have your info, more often.
look up 'cookies' on google.

download a free anti virus of your choice and scan your entire hard drive.
I personally use Microsoft Security Essentials.
It has helped me and my friends.

No, I don't think it's a virus. I get those too, but once it starts going on porn websites every time you click on the internet, you know you've got a virus. (That has happened.) You might want to take it to best buy or a local computer shop to check if you are worried. They can clean the hard drive if necessary.

It really isn't hard to track an IP these days. A script just takes your IP and finds where you live based on it, nothing more to it.

Install adblock, and pop up blocking add-on into your browser. Just do a search of " adblock for (your browser), and so on.
