I was surfing the web looking for hairstyle and I got all this Porn popping up on my computer. I have an 11 year old and do not need this crap on my computer! HELP!!!
All you guys are AWESOME…thanks for your input.
These programs will probably remove everything that the website put on your computer. It is a good idea to run more than one, but at the very least, you should run SuperAntiSpyware. Avira AntiVir is also a good one. I don’t know why you said (not free), because free programs are often just as effective as ones you buy.
SuperAntiSpyware:
I have had good experience with this program. It removed a virus that no other program could. It has a free version that has all the features you need.

Ad Aware 2008 Free:
This is a completely free program that is easy to use. It will remove most spyware and adware.

Spybot – Search & Destroy:
Another good option that removes most malware. If you run Ad Aware it is a good idea to run this to (and vise-versa)

Avira AntiVir:
Avira Antivir has the highest detection ratio of all free antivirus programs.

Avast! Home Edition:
Another good free antivirus program.

To keep this from happening again, there are a few things you can do. You can install the browser plugins Adblock Plus (Firefox) and Adblock Pro (Internet Explorer). They are very effective and easy to set up ad blocking options. You should also install antivirus programs to monitor your computer for viruses and stop them before they become a problem. Avast! and Threatfire are two programs that do this without slowing down your computer.
Threatfire is intended to be used in addition to another antivirus program.
