Computer bugs,worms,viruses & Spyware,Adware,Spam

...not exactly a worldshaking event,just annoying and timeconsuming junk thrown at me and most of us hobby computer users as well as businesses, institutions and so on..

Once more my confuser has been highjacked by some garbage programme...this thing makes useless ads pop up while I do something else, it also shows a number of green underlined common words such as cash,hotel,credit,phone and a number of others converted to link sources. I guess I can live with it but it is not exactly fun. I keep cleaning and desinfecting my machine as much as possible, I do not open e mail unless I know the source, but still this stuff keeps creeping into my gadget.

So...what to do..

To start with, you may want to use the programme provided by your IAP..internet access provider, in my case The  Bell Telephone Company.
Their programme is called Sympatico Scan & Clean...it sort of works but still misses a lot.  

..later the same day:-/
at least one mystery has been solved..this multiple keyboard thing...to restore the slash thing////
  turns out that all I needed to do is to hold down Ctrl and tap on the Shift key.../ amazing/ it works.
But I still have this spy bug in the system...
more later, if and  when I find the answer.
