Hello, I am hoping someone would be kind enough to help me out with
this problem my family and I have had with our computer.

It has become extremely slow over the past few months, with pop-ups
frequently appearing. This is fustrating to the point of tears. I have
tried downloading Spybot S&D, and that has mildly worked (computer is
a tiny bit faster), although the pop-ups still keep coming. There is
an icon on the bottom right of the screen called QuickBrowser that I
think might be the problem. I have tried to find it’s source so I can
delete it, but it is not listed anywhere except for the icon. Another
icon that frequently appears is My Daily Horoscopes. I have tried
deleting this, but it reappears evey time I reboot.

I have done a bit of research, and I realize I may need to download a
Hijack-This, or something along those lines. Please, if anyone can
help me with this problem, I would be very grateful. My mom won’t stop
bothering me to get it fixed..... Thanks in advanced.

-Joe
