    Hey I dont know that much about computers but just there I got this message,

    http://www.drivecleaner.com/.freeware/index.php?p=20&ax=0&ex=1&z=1&link=sw7&ad=quitethe_ie_en_ed2&aff=#

    now I am absolutley certain that this info is not true, Im presuming this is just advertisement ****e? as before this came up, the firefox window minimised and another warning similar to this one came up in the bottom corner of the screen looking like a anti-virus/mozilla report, now the fact that this minimised a window has me thinking is it symptom of a virus/adware on my pc?

    all help appreciated though not sure if this is the right place to be posting this..............

    Do this

    CLICK HERE to download the HijackThis Installer:
    1. Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
    2. Double-click on HJTInstall.exe to run the program.
    3. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
    4. Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
    5. Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
    6. Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in Notepad.
    7. Click on "Edit -> Select All" then click on "Edit -> Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
    8. Come back here to this thread and paste the log in your next reply.
    9. Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
