I need to know how to find what is giving me highlighted words that link to ads. I reloaded winders and Firefox and other things yesterday, something loaded with something else but I can’t figure out what it is.

No, putting the file in the recycle bin and deleting it won’t take care of it. However, don’t download any program just recommended from the site you found. Use an anti Malware program of your own choosing. If you don’t have one, go to CNET downloads and read the reviews to select one.

The Geeks seem to be less fond of it than they used to be, but I find Spybot Search and Destroy useful for removing this kind of malware. In any case, you want to root out whatever it is before using your computer a whole lot more, before it has a chance to spread.

Your Norton is enough. Don’t download other software and delete this new stuff.
