Answer 4

Don't worry about  those blue files.... i've got plenty of them, and they are not viruses, i believe those are compressed files...

I'm not so sure about the internet... "Capped??" "slow net"

The advertisements.... no idea... there are no popups ad that come from searching google... It's probably some program cause..

Answer 5

You probably have adware on your computer. I'm sure someone else will provide the appropiate links, as i don't have them to hand. The adware could also be responsible for making your PC run slow. All you described is typical adware behaviour

Answer 6

first things first shut down the computor for a day or so and then start it up again. if that doesnt work then maybe its time for a new computor. i doubt its a virus but if u clicked one of those stupid bars at the top of the computor advertising a game ect. then it is a possible virus.

Answer 7

Switch off System Restore and do the following, you can restart SR when your computer is clean:-

SUPERantispyware http://superantispyware.com

Update and run a full scan once a week.

Spybot Search and Destroy http://safer-networking.org

Update, Immunize and scan once a week.

ccleaner http://ccleaner.com

Run the Cleaner scan and remove all it finds

Run the Registry scan and fix all issues but repeat this until nothing is detected.

You don't say which anti-virus software you are using, I'd recommend http://avast.com Avast Home Edition if you're looking for a reliable free one.

Hope this helps, email me if you need any help.
