Okay you hot shot computer whizzes. I need help with my computer ask me about houses local politics or food and I can give plenty of answers but computers are not my forte.

So here is the problem..... when I go into internet explorer to surf the net check my email etc. I eventually get this error message that requires me to shut down the internet. Very frustrating and is burning alot of my time.

You have a virus (also known as a worm in this case) there a few different ones it can be. Are you running Windows XP? if so you need to download some security updates from microsofts website
if you have windows XP go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en
and download the update there

You will also need to remove the virus...

You really need to patch your system to block the problems. There are also instructions there on removal tools.

Once you get cleaned up, installing and maintaining an anti-virus program should be next on your list. There are many to choose from but I use Trendmicro.

You should also look into getting some kind of spyware, ad removal program. Personally, I use Norton for my antivirus and I use Ad-Aware and Spysweeper for ad and spyware removal. Never had any problems with any viruses.
