Hi all,

My computer has been infected by some of viruses. This virus pops up a
lot of web page windows which adivertise for some companies. Even I
close all of internet explorer windows, it still keep openning other
windows. It also makes my computer very slow

Plz tell me the name of the virus and how to clean it. I am using
Mcaffee 2006 but cannot find the virus.

Thanks

it doesn't sound like a virus, it sounds like adware... try using an
anti-adware product like adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/)

Most likely is spyware rather than a virus. There are a number of
different little nasties that provide pop-up advertising, hijack your
browser and all that good stuff. There are some other good
anti-spyware/trojan programs you can download and use for free that do a
good job against this kind of crap.

Superantispyware

AVG Antispyware

Another suggestion is to get rid of McAfee and go with another AV such as
Kaspersky or NOD32.
