While surfing to learn more about downloading music, I think I somehow had something downloaded on my computer and I want to get rid of it. Now when I open Explore to get on the internet, I get a popup each and every time (the same one). It is a search popup, with icons listing sex sites, casinos, etc. the address listed on my toolbar is: http://tak.com/passthrough/popupbaropener.html. This program also changed my homepage to lop.com (I was able to fix that), but also changed my search engine (the one you access at the top toolbar) from MSN to this lop.com. Can you help me with this?
