I am having issues with my computer. It is very slow and locks up occasionally when trying to go into different web sites. Some web sites I can't even load up anymore. There is also pop ups apperaing randomly and some other programs on the computer will not run anymore or will run but act very different then they used too. I am running Windows XP and using Internet Explorer to access the internet. Help!!!!! :cry:
