I'm no expert in this field.
It's so sad to see what horrible sites the youth today go on.
Any way, what should I do?
Delete hard drive?
Some kind of clean up?
Thank you

Clean Registry and Optimize PC
You can do this via …'tools'…'internet options'….and deleting cookies and files as well as setting days to keep pages in history to 0…
or by downloading CCleaner… (formerly Crap Cleaner) it's a freeware system optimization and privacy tool.
It removes unused and temporary files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space. The best part is that it's fast and free.

Then run at least one, preferably two

Ok Ok, this is how you do it… (firefox or IE)
Top of your windows, you see "Files" ~ "Edit" ~ "View" ~ "Hsitory" "Bookmarks" ~ "Tools" ~ "Help"
Click Tools, Then click either 'internet options' (for IE)/Clear Private Data (For Firefox)
And then for IE, Click "Clear History"
And then for Firefox, Click whatever you want to delete (or click "delete all" at the bottom)
xD
open the internet and goto view explorer bar then click history and delete all the sites u wont to
go to http://www.lavasoft.com/ and download adaware (free version). This software is awesome and will clean up most of the popups and crud you don't know is slowing down your computer. If you still have problems with it you can download this anti-virus software for free http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
If these fail I would suggest doing a format and windows re installation.
Print this, keep it handy 🙂
*Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Internet Options and delete all browsing history (cookies, temporary internet files etc). Check the box, Also delete files and settings stored by add-ons.
*Make sure your folder settings allow you to see the ALL your folders, Go to My Computer>Folder Options>View. CHeck all the show files boxes and UNCHECK all the Hide boxes. Click apply and ok.
*Go to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings \temp
Delete all files. (for each user)
*Delete all in recycle bin
You should also make sure you dont have anything lurking around.
*Download, install and the get the updates for the following, but DO NOT RUN A SCAN YET:
Adware

SuperAntispyware

*Then, DISCONNECT from the internet.
*Next, boot up in safe mode (Tap the F8 key every few seconds as the system boots up until the screen Saying Safe Mode option appears).
*Now run the above spyware programs.
I would also download and install Firefox, its less vulnerable than IE. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
(Then configure it for pop-ups and other things, like Clearing everything (mentioned above) when you exit. Its easier with Firefox.
tools>options>privacy tab to clear everything)
get spybot-search and destroy…its an anti virus scan. if yu want to delete a history, go to tools, options, clear history on you internet site. For clearing the hard drive, go to my computer, search, and clean sweep and clean both drives…I'd still call geeksquad if probs. persist though. I heard their good.
um just go to tools and click internet history and then click delete internet history or go to control panel and go to the internet section in the control panel and click delete browsing history i hope i helped
Delete the history and the cookies. Buy a blocker!
Delete your temp history and all cookies. Why not set up your computer to password protection so that you don't have these worries? If you can work yahoo, you can do that.
