and i have this stupid protection bar on my internet thingy
and my computer is moving really slowly

Sounds like you have some nasty spyware. XD There are tons of Anti-Spyware programs on the internet, Ad Aware is popular, so is SpyBot. I like Spyware Doctor though, but you gotta pay which is bullshit. Yea those programs should get rid of most/all of the garbage on your computer.

You might want to clean out your registry too. If you've had your computer for a while, the registry tends to build up for every program you install, the registries can also get corrupted and slow the comp like a mofo. Get a registry cleaner to clean it up. RegCure, RegSeeker are good bets.

AdAware
BufferZone (30 day trial )
SpyBot
RegSeeker

Isn't AdAware Swedish? Hell yeah... That's the one I use and it does the job it's supposed to do.

sometimes those programs dont remove all the files completely. when that happens u will have to get hijackthis which tell you wat is messing with ur compter then u will have to take down location of the file then start the computer in safe mode and run smith fraud fix. this really helped me out when i got a very very nasty virus in my computer.
