Ok guys I'm really worried right now. Every web page I look on has words like "love" "reading" "wing" with a link to some love site on them.......like all over gc if I see any of these words it'll turn into a link. I don't know what to do. Also, I have about 5 million pop up windows.....I recently downloaded adaware and have run it like 5 times but its not helping!! What should I do?!

I was on my parent's computer at their house Sunday and had the same thing happen. Wanna know something freakish?!?!

This pop up came up and my parent's cd drive and the burner opened at the same time, and the pop up said, if your drives just opened, your computer is at risk I was like WTF?!?!?!?!?

PS. I thought it was something weird too, so I alerted John about it. I think it's that spyware stuff cuz I was getting links to things like car loans, insurance and flowers.com!

OMG this has happened a few minutes ago, except that my cd drive did not open. I got the same pop-up though!

same thing happened to me and in the end i had to use my system recovery disk which I was not too happy about. I had adaware on my computer too but it didnt catch it. Try this:

Its a script that you download and run, it doesnt work all the time because sometimes the files that got downloaded have varied names. Its still worth a try.
