Computer issues

something new for me the last two days here on the wall and at other sites was sites coming up which I have nothing to do with. Things like<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> wordslife</span> and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">freewalls</span> etc. I ran all my virus scans as did my computer company and could not find anything.



This all started back two weeks ago when my Malware-Bytes would not upload and according to my computer people my computer had been hi-jacked.



Well thanks to a program called COMBI-Fix we solved the Malware issue.



The rest of my problems was caused by of all things my router for my three computer network here in the office. The router can get a virus believe it or not. If anyone else has this problem get in touch with me I have the solution for you. By the way I was not alone with this problem as my computer folks had several of their customers with this same problem.

    What kind of router

    do you have?



    And is COMBI-fix the proper name of the program? I wasn't able to find it, but did locate a "Combo-Fix" that McAfee said was a trojan................
