When I go online some words may be highlighted or under lined and when I place the mouse over the word an advertisement of some sort will popup.Also sometimes when I click the back button nothing happens and just now this morning I can log into my ymail account…

I think I may have downloaded some sort of virus on my laptop. When I go online some words may be highlighted or under lined and when I place the mouse over the word an advertisement of some sort will popup.Also sometimes when I click the back button nothing happens and just now this morning I can log into my ymail account but nothing is happening when I click on my inbox. This has only started in the last week or so and I am concerned that maybe when downloading a torrent site I may have allowed something to infect my computer. Anyhelp would be appreciated,
Regards Fredv

Run Trend House Call (Free) and Malwarebytes. Between both of them you should be sorted.
