Believe malware has taken overparts of my browser

Unread postby hogan456 » March 22nd, 2009, 2:38 pm

When I google something sometimes the link redirects me to blank pages, also getting strange ads for something called Vimax. Pop-ups are appearing on certain pages then freezing the system altogether- I have no choice to turn the computer off manually and start over. Appreciate any help you can offer.
