To begin, I am totally computer illiterate. I have no idea what section or forum this is being posted in. Dont have a clue. So i would appreciate it very much if someone that knows more than i do will tell me what is wrong with my computer and what i can do to fix it. I logged on to AOL Instant Messenger the other day and noticed an unusual "away message" that a friend of mine had put up, it said: "Pictures from my valentines day!!" followed my a link to a website. Being the curios, idiot that I am, i clicked on the link. Several pop ups showed up and I Xed them out but im assuming it was too late, now whenever my internet connection is working, AOL aotomatically signs me in and I am logged on with the same away message that my friend had put up earlier. I have run every anit-virus program I have but the problem hasnt been fixed. As you can see, I really am a complete moron so again, please help me correct my error...anyone...? -Jenb
