I use Firefox and and something prompted my IE to open. Then I kept getting messages that we can fix this for you for $49.99. Pop up after pop up. Yeah right, pay ransom and give them my CC number. No way.

I backup everything every few days so I won't lose much to reload the system. Just the time it takes. I have been messing with computers, not professionally however, since 1981 and haven't seen anything like this before.

It removed my McAfee and Adaware and all of that. I found an open door through and older version of MusicMatch I had on the system to move my files to an external hard drive before I reload windows.
