Ok, I have some problems...

(Yeah, yeah, skip the witty comebacks)

My computer had issues, and it is rapidly escalating... It started with my computer having difficulty finding my DVD drive... so I went back to a reset point a few times and it SORT OF healed itself... THEN one day all my saved emails disappeared, as did most my documents, and all my dozens of favorites (Including a LOT of incriminating posts by other HZ-ers....) :)

THEN the popups started, sites of all types (crap I really dont want) popping up every time I start up my laptop, I have tried updating my security software but now my computer crashes every time I try to install the updates.... does anyone have advice other than "ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SECURITY UP TO DATE, MORON!!!!"

also I have found documents on my computer, nothing I ever wrote or downloaded, I have a multi megabyte document on fuel injectors that I KNOW I never would have downloaded...

I have a wireless modem and I leave my computer hooked up constantly, (big sin I know)...

any suggestions?
