Yeah, where can I view (and delete) the Internet Pages that I've been on before, and the pics that I've seen? In IE I can just go to Tools-Internet Options- then I can Delete Files, Delete Cookies, and Delete Settings, and in FF it's just Tools-Options-Privacy, but I know the info is still in my computer, but where and what folder? Where?!?

C:\Documents and Settings and then into your folder, and into the cookies!

Well, doesn't it still show somewhere? I stumbled on it before, and it showed all of the pics on the websites that I've been to, but this is a new comp though...

And no it's not porn, it's just that I have pop-ups that are.

That means one of two things.
You're visiting naughty websites, or keygen sites with porno popups.
You caught some adware/spyware/trojan.
After installing adblock and some other extensions, I never get popups, so chances are you have something buried deep in your system. Lemme know if you want tips on how to find this junk, I think you know how to do it yourself :).

Yeah, I haven't updated Virus Definitions in a while, and for some reason I'm never running the Virus Software anyways...so probably something on my comp.

Okay, lemme give you some quick tips.

Go through your add/remove programs list and eliminate anything you don't use, and your old virus checker.
Start-run-msconfig. Go to the services tab, check the "don't show MS services" box, and deselect anything you don't want starting with Windows. Anything with incomplete/jarbled/a lack of a name is spyware.
Go to the startup tab. Eliminate anything that looks suspicious/non driver related to you.
Download and install Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware SE, and Avast! Anti Virus, and get the latest definition files for each.
Restart, let Avast! do its boot time scan, and then reboot again into safe mode. Then run Spybot and Ad-Aware SE. This will make sure the viruses/trojans/spywares actually get detected.
Boot into Windows normally. If everything is fine, register Avast! and relax knowing you're secure for 14 months (assuming you let resident protection run). If things are still fishy, the malware is extremely deep in your system.
If you still think anythings wrong, then Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and google every process you find suspicious. You will probably get links to fixes for people who have had your exact problem.

That's what I do to clean people's systems. I do it for free, but get $20 tips :D.

So are you saying that I should do that to other people's systems to get money?:)

Yeah, I'll try that, but I'm sure whatever it is it's minor.
