"its onlyr old and just think got bug on it keep getting pop up and shit and cant see cams on here or anything i really aint got a clue abut them "
From FAQs:
I'm seeing annoying/popup ads on the site.
We don't show pop up adverts on the site and we don't show any adverts at all if you are a site supporter.
If you are seeing pop up or unexpected/annoying adverts on the site, you almost certainly have "adware" or malware/spyware on your computer.
This type of annoying advert software sometimes comes with "free" software you've downloaded or arrives maliciously as a virus and serves up adverts to you depending on what you're looking at on the Internet.
You can learn more about adware on Wikipedia or read some tips for removing adware on about.com
Anything to do with this? |

Had quite a few messages today from blokes offering to help me with new laptop etc. I think it's some kind of lame chat up/ come on.
I can give you their names if you would like?
PS. I didn't get a new laptop. I got a guitar! |

Make sure you have reputable antivirus software installed. Microsoft Security Essentials, Kaspersky or Nortons would be my advice. Then install and run MalwareBytes to remove adware. Don't run the continuous protection from it as it sometimes interferes with the A/V software.
If that doesn't work check the device manager for hardware issues, then wade through the application logs to see what errors have been produced. Can get quite technical at that point though. |

"have you tried downloading malwarebaytes? is usually good at removing stuff.
only download it from it's official site, and it's free as well."
it can take a while to run and remove viruses though, so not sure if your laptop will crash during it? but most stuff isn't FUD to mwb. |
