For some reason, a few nights ago FireFox let a pop-up ad slide that installed a rogue anti-virus on my computer (it really only shows false positives so you'll buy the actual product - it's a dud and shouldn't download anything else on your computer, as far as I've read. It's just REALLY FREAKING ANNOYING). So, I search Google and find a page to manually remove it since I have dial-up and thus no time to download virus/spyware/malware removers, and I take it off of my computer. Everything's fine until the next day, when I try to do a google search for some anti-virus/spyware/malware thing that I remembered, and google wouldn't load. It just wouldn't. Not a single search engine would go. Every other website worked perfectly, so I thought it might have had something to do with firefox. So I do a google search in IE and minimize the window. It took two or more hours to load one google page. Does anyone know what the hell is wrong with my computer?

My dad has one of those viruses. Antispy and virusranger or something. They look like antivirus programs but they show fake results and try and get you to buy the full version. It hijacks your computer and browser. Seems impossible to get rid of :(

I think your best bet would be to get a proper anti-virus, like Norton. It might be expensive and take forever to download on a dial-up connection, but it's worth it in the end.

Then use a free anti-virus. There's lots of them out there. They work wonders. Try Avast anti-virus, or AVG. They're both easy to use. Entirely free.

Tell your mum you have a virus. If it spreads, it could affect everything you have on your computer, not just the search engine thing.
