Click this link http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php scroll down the page and download pressing the blue download button, then update and run a scan if this don't sort out your problem, then repost into malware thread and tell them that your infected and explain everything you where doing when and before this started happening !

If life is not an option then why are we not given the option in the first place !

Hi Allan Internet Explorer is my default browser.


And is that the way you want it? If so, browse with IE and see if you encounter any issues before suspecting malware
