computer/ internet guru's help?

OK, Everytime I log on to the internet I imediately get porn pop ups on my screen, even before I get connected

Then I am always getting porn pop ups no matter what I am looking at, I tried clicking on a link in the oso section and WA LA, a porn site pops up. How do I make this crap stop??

The only way that computer knew you liked porn was because it visited a porn site and installed a spyware program on your pc.

download adaware from lavasoft.com and you should be fine.
