Why do there seem to be virus attached to trusted sites?
when opening firefox, always a message saying need to install or fix whatever, need java update, and things of this nature, but I ignore these, and than extra windows start opening. Had to remove everything on one PC,
The following files kept self installing
FastCleanPro: WSE_ASTROMENDA;

Sounds like your PC picked up a dose of Malware.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
