I've been reading these forums for a while because this computer's had viruses on it, but I didn't know what I was getting into so I didn't post. I do need help and the problems only going to get worse... I downloaded HijackThis and am being really careful with it, I haven't touched it yet. I feel really stupid, but, what do I need to do? I never get any pop-ups from these things, but the computer freezes a bit and they're just giving it a hard time. Thanks very much for any help, I really hope to get rid of these viruses, finally... ^ ^
