I am a novice at trying to keep my computer clean. Recently, when trying to view one of my favorite sites (www.fixedgeargallery.com), I have been redirected to a nasty porn site. I have decided that after several years of having roommates and letting them use my computer, there is probably a lot of crap that I should clean off of my computer. can anyone help me do this? any help would be greatly appreciated.
