Right, ive been having a few adware issues over the last week or so, i tried downloading many things, most of them wanting me to pay.

I managed to download a programme called spybot search and destroy and it located a few problems, which i have removed.

However, before i downloaded that programme, i had adverts popping up trying to sell me things such as free ringtones. However since i downloaded that programme (spybot search and destroy), i get blank pages popping up intead.

Also i have noticed that the webpages that i access never fully load.

Anybody know what is happening, and any solutions would be appreciated.

it opens up another page which just says please wait... and never actually does anythng.

i get on the website i want, i just get that as well! plus the webpage is slow to fully load.
