I finally got rid of the popups -- I used spybot the clean out the rest-- the only thing that I can't get rid of is on the taskbar -- by the clock - there is an icon that is blinking that will bring me to to the page if I click on it called virprotect.com the other one was thesafetyfiles.com-- Can you please give me some help please? Thank You -- Jackie Mac PS His antivirus is Kaspersky
