dold5000 · 12-03-2008, 10:32 PM

Hi i am running windows xp and a few days ago my computer got very slow all of a sudden and then any google search i make i always get the first page coming up with the same searches. crackle.com , reviewsmaster.com, comparisonwize.com, and other spam forums. Its driving me crazy because i cant use google for any more searches.

Hopefully someone can help. thank you

sorry i forgot to mention that i use firefox and even though IE is uninstalled it keeps on poping up with spam windows also.
