To all.......

I'm sending out a computer SOS here to anyone who knows computers better than I do............that would be everyone........

I am getting a giant yellow pop-up on our computer, and an advertisement to stop Spam popping up, that opens up our CD.

I'm wary of doing anything, because there is some pornographic material involved, and I don't want to open anything nasty.

I'd like some help in getting rid of spam in my e-mail, but this is scary!

When I click on the properties of the yellow screen, it says something about object pass this on. com......

Any help I can get from anyone would be appreciated!

Close all the windows for Internet Explorer that are open. Double-click My Computer, double-click the C drive, double-click Windows, double-click Temporary Internet Files. Click on the Edit Menu and click on Select All. Then press the delete key. It may take a few minutes to delete everything there if you have a lot.

You can also download "Spybot - Search and Destroy" and install it. It is very good at finding and deleting spybots and spam. Go here to read about it and download it.

Delete it. It is a pop-up add. I get the thing.
