OT-computer help

[Matt]

ok, i doubt its this site and most likely something on my computer...

but the last two nights while on this site windows opened like 70 windows...all with this site on it.

when i was on my honeymoon we had the sister in law house sit for us and she is notorious for downloading all kinds of MP3s, movies, ringtones, and cause virus.

im not too computer savy and was wondering if someone knew a good FREE program that i can download that can scan my computer and remove any problems.

i have windows XP.  if that helps.

thanks

AVG Anti-Virus is great free virus software that updates daily:

Also, scan for trojans and spyware with Spybot Search and Destroy:

What about Windows Defender?

You can also use Firefox, which tends to prevent most pop-ups...

But I really don't think it's this site...

If it's only 7, you're lucky.  I've seen computers with hundreds...
