Hi Kathi,
Check out this site for a "free" firewall and antivirus program
if you don't already have one.

http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm

You should also have a spyware program.
Did you try AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy?
They are both free programs, be sure
and run the "check for updates" after you
install them.

Happy New Year,
