hi, can anyone please help me, ok this is what happened, I reformatted and did a clean windows xp home install. Everything was okay until... I setted up my internet and then I connected to the internet and wham! my modem light was blinking like mad and suddenly my whole computer lags and when I go on the internet or open installation programs or virus/adware/spyware remover programs. The program or computer freezes or won't respond! I also get these weird pop-up messages from time to time saying I have 43 spyware on my computer! If I disconnect from the internet, then its normal, no pop-ups or anything! what shud I do?
