I checked  and it was mostly just online games.... I have a feeling it's from my son downloading games online and what not...I'm always deletin these games files out of my laptop.... But thanks

[BeautifulDisaster]

Thanks... I guess I'll need internet connection for this...? I'll give this a try when I have time.... got a little pissy  fit over it because I have a ton of pictures in there that I need to get... The rest of the things are not so important 

Stop wasting your time with what everyone else is saying and just find a way to download ComboFix (or an updated spyware cleaning program) onto a flash drive, and run it on your laptop. The issue is your laptop is infected with spyware, and the easiest way to fix it is to run a spyware utility to fix it. ComboFix will fix it. Just find a way to download it onto a usb flash drive, and run it on your laptop. I linked it in my first post before this one.

It is....I went through three laptops within five years & yes, I really would like to get this one fixed... 
 
Where are the geeks when I need them *sigh   kidding. I knew I'd find them here haha.. Thanks guys

Just bring it to me and i'll fix it for you.

I just got done fixing my friend's laptop from Rhode Island and sent it back to her.

She had the same thing as you did.......i replace her laptop screen, recover had datas in her hard-drive, then i reformat her hard drive with windows 7.

Just deleting the malware/spyware isn't enough....i prefer just recovering your datas and giving you a new OS....

I might head down there this weekend... I'll give you a ring

Kids these days...downloa d way too much java games, flash games, etc......and of course adult sites..

Should put a parental block on your laptop if you're going to let your kid use it.....or creat a GUEST ACCOUNT

My cousin's daughter use the PC to play flash games where she dressed up her doll with different clothings.  One day my cousin told me there were nude picture popping all over.  One of my cousin went to SuabHmong radio and he got malware on his Vista PC.  My friend's son playing flash games and downloading games from websites and soon their computer is asking them to pay to remove malware.   You don't even have to do much to get these problems.   Kids, elderly, and computer illiterate people are easy prey.  This is why I always recommend people to go with a used Mac.  Even if you are a pro, if you share your computer with kids or others who know very little about online security, you are doom as well.
