Unwanted Picture Files?

Question

I've heard that some websites can add files, pics, etc. to your computer that you don't want. How do you find them and get rid of them? Thanks.

Answer 1

usually while online all files are loaded to you browser settings, you can use browser options to clear cache and cookies,

if you downloaded spyware/ malware and computers acting weird, use scanners,

also note that firewall and virus scanners should be able to stop malicious  webware from running if on,

Run a full scan and click YES to remove.

This isn't the BEST but it's pretty darn good for a freebie.

There are other programs such as cuberscrub http://www.cyberscrub.com/download/  which are better. This one offers you a free 15 day trial but then you have to pay.
