Hey guys, I am in need of more computer help. The problem is now whenever, I first open either firefox or internet explorer, a bunch of explorer pop up, well pop up (around 40 of them at once).

Is there anyway to fix my problem? Please and thanks guys!

Yes... thank you very much for giving us your spam pop-up.

I think I'll go contract SARS and take an expectorant in a movie theater.

Have you run any sort of Adware or Virus scanner? That's most likely what it is. Note: Do not use the ones that you see in the pop-up ads. They are more adware and viruses.

Yes I have, I used SuperAntiSpyware for adware and spyware, and Mcafee (Sp.?) Professional for viruses.

Have they been updated recently?

Yeah that's definitely some kind of add ware... scan your computer a few more times. If that doesn't work, you may need to do a clean install.

If you have downloaded an AntiVirus called AntiVirus 360, go to your internet providers website and download their antivirus to remove it. I spent over $100 (of my own money, that's like $2000 for all you grown ups) to fix my computer because I didn't download it earlier.

Okay, here's what you need to do: Download the latest version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Install the software and run a full scan. This will likely take several hours. Be patient. (The quick scan is, well, quicker, but it's not as thorough, and could miss a deeper infection.) This software is extremely effective, and will almost certainly solve your problem. Let me know if it doesn't; there's more you can do in that case.

You can also post up a hijackthis log for one of the many super computer nerds to analyse and tell you. But ThatWasRandom is right, run the newest version of Mal-Warebytes and let it scan all the way through. I've had to take care of infections much more worrisome than this and will not be a big deal, just follow what we tell you to do and it'll be alright.

I'm a technology professional and we use Malware Bytes here in the office. If that doesn't do it, you're more then likely going to need to rebuild your PC.

In the future, be more careful what kind of porn you're searching for. I know it's a moment of weakness and you just have to see that video of that cow doing that thing, but that's how you get this shit 90% of the time. If you insist on looking at porn at malicious sites, make sure your important files are backed up on an extrenal hard drive so when you inevitably catch a computer fucker it won't be so painful to have to rebuild.

It's gotta be that, only cow porn can cause such a problem with your computer.
