Q1. I keep getting Advertising websites popping up that I do not want, I cant stop them, what can I do ?

Q2. I keep getting a message coming up telling me I have a virus, and that I should "Click Here" to get rid of it
A2. Unless this is from your existing Anti-virus Program, DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING THE ONLY VIRUS YOU HAVE IS ONE THEY PUT THERE ! This is a very bad form of sales, AT BEST, they want you to buy their product, and have introduced this problem to frighten you into buying something from them. AT WORST, they want your Credit / Bank card details, so they can spend your money before you realise what's happened. CLOSE INTERNET EXPLORER, AND ANY WINDOWS, SHUT DOWN YOUR PC AND CALL ME STRAIGHT AWAY !

It maybe just a simple fix to add a little more memory, upgrade your processor or clean your hard drive of old and redundant programs, to bring it back to life.
