On your page entitled "how do I stop pop-up adverts continually appearing" Rob made two suggestions which I trusted and infected my computer with viruses.

Hello, I read and entrusted the advise that Rob had given regarding the article entitled "how do I stop pop-up adverts continually appearing", but the suggested downloads were tainted with viruses. I was able to remove all but one, the 2.delta-search virus. I do not think that your site intentionally laced the suggested downloads, but wanted to see if you could assist me in purging my computer of this delta virus. It is not listed in programs for me to delete, it seems to be well hidden. I even went in and searched all programs looking for any that were just downloaded into my computer but with no luck. The virus is very cleverly hidden. Thank you for any assistance that you may be able to share. Charles

Who is Rob, that is bad he got you to install malware on your computer, check with all programs below.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
