Thankyou thankyou thankyou Bruce! I downloaded the software and now I have no nasty virus popping up boxes on my screen every two seconds.

I never thought this day would come, but I owe you one! :hug:

No problem, Malwarebytes is your friend, and turns out it was written by a very nice guy.

It did a great job for me. I had tried several other fixes and had no luck before I decided to post here and see what happened, so I'm very grateful for the advice. :)

eta: I should have just come here in the first place. You'd think I'd have known that by now wouldn't you.

I usually go to Google first.
