I went to an site loaded with malware. Every time I click I get another window. I am running malwarebytes now which I believe will fix the problem. The dangers of my own list. Anyone else have problems. I am trying to pinpoint where this came from.

I had the same problem. You need to run Malwarebytes ( free download) until it cleans your entire computer (Took 3 hours the first time),The last time Malwarebytes found 10 items,that was on February 10th, the scanning time was from 8:24 to 9:08, I run the program once a week for prevention, also I switched to Mozilla Fire Fox. Problem solved! Good luck

You need top disconnect from the internet. You best choice is to run a full scan in "Safe Mode"
Once the Scan finishes, you will want to reboot into Safe Mode again only this time choose "With Networking" and try to scan with an online free scanner like the one from Eset or Kaspersky.

To get into Sage Mode:
Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer.

Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the Shut Down button Picture of Shut Down button, and then click Restart.
Press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 BEFORE the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows log on prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the safe mode option you want, and then press Enter.
Be sure you log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator privileges.
Good luck!
