can't stop PC Health Kit & other pages from loading

[Guest MichaelBossWN]

A bunch of programs (?) keep popping up about

"needed updates," "viruses detected, "download" this, "download" that. I "X" them out, but they keep coming back on screen. A few of the names of them are: "My PC Health Kit". "System Optimizer Pro", "iYogi", "CompuClever", "PC Clean Maestro" and others. They all want me to "download" them to fix the 6,000+ (later 500+) problems I SUDDENLY HAVE, which I didn't have a WEEK ago. (That is how long I've been trying to eliminate them. I usually spend over an hour TRYING, then giving up.

 

I do NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO? I raN Microsoft Essentials and it reported "NO PROBLEMS". I am ignorant when it comes to using a computer, much less "fixing" one.

 

Have I been hit with Malware or viruses, or things like that? If so, what can I do about it.

 

The guy who works on this computer had a car accident and therefore is unable to help me fix these problems. So, I am not going to bother him.

 

I feel totally overwhelmed. I would love to LEARN how to fix problems like this, and other things. But I do not have the $$ to go out and buy "Dummies" books which might help. I am also afraid I'd have A LOT to learn before I could ever get to the "fixing computers" stage.

 

I need HELP - NOW ! Will someone out there take the time to help an old, home-bound, disabled, and VERY CONFUSED, IGNORANT man get back "on the road to (computer usage) recovery?"

 

PLEASE !!!

 

THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE !!!
