When using the internet other sites appear on my computer without me requesting them. If I log on to a particular site and then close that one down, other sites have come on to the computer. I have checked my security setting and cant find a way to stop them. Thank you. Ron.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure of.
