computer blues (computer woes---????)

ok- gotta ask a question ....

my computer at work ... i really feel that it is gonna blow up soon .... it could be some virus or somethin ... altho we do have anti virus software ... who knows ....
confused
the symptoms are this ---- the home page keeps switching ... away from yahoo .... the computer works ... but there are wayyyy more popups than usual also ... and ... well ... i think it is gettin slower and slower and slower ... etc

is there a good site that you (anyone) might recommend where i can do a scan/etc .... any suggestions ....

sad

sounds like youve got loads of spyware and adware.

Run some programs like SpySweeper, PestPatrol, Spybot, etc...
