Its just really anoying.I will browse folder using windows explorer and it will like pop up with a message saying That I have bad stuff in my files and need protection. I close the window and firefox pops up with dome cheep protection software. This happens when Im surfing the internet to. I tried scanning for it but its still there.Do I have to reinstall windows?

Don't do it yet. Here's what I recommend:

1. Download other spyware/antivirus programs.
1a. Install COMODO antivirus
1b. Install COMODO anti-spyware
1c. Install Spybot Search & Destroy
2. Update them
3. Boot up into Safe Mod
3a. Run these programs

If problem continues:
1. You could use a System Restore to bring back your computer to an earlier stage. You must remember the latest date before this accident.

If problem continues:
1.Reinstall Windows
