I am about ready to toss my computer out the window. I clicked on a news site last week and a porn site popped up and ever since I have had numerous viruses. I have run scan after scan and it does not seem to help the problem. It takes forever to click on a site I want to go to including my email account. I am about ready to call my computer expert and let him take care of the problem.

Sounds like you need for the computer guy to do a full cleaning. Sometimes, you can go to some websites which have gotten attached to questionable sites, and those sites will 'register' on your computer, unbeknownst to you, and start sending your info to the crap sites. It took my #2 son, who is a computer whiz, 3 hours to clean mine up a couple of years ago.

Good luck, cause I know how frustrating it is to have to keep closing those pop ups!
