I told him I just wanted to go buy a mac.

Bizi, as the others have said it looks like a PUP to me.
Does "Text Enhance" appear when you click on something? If so, the instructions here should help; http://botcrawl.com/how-to-remove-text-enhance/ .

I think we have several things going on. Jeff has a couple of other programs to run then he will uninstall fire fox and reinstall it. fire fox is one of the problems. it keeps crashing then a pop up of "computer repair keeps intruding my posts.
very frustrating. thanks for your suggestion. bizi

Does Jeff know how to use Hijack this?
other free tools too- http://free.antivirus.com/us/#cleanup-and-prevention and how to check the task manager to see if any suspicious programs are running? some of them are very hard to totally remove. I usually google any program name to check if I'm not sure on what it is. It seems that the antivirus program that you are using is not working very well for you.. I used Zone Alarm extreme when we had windows on our computers and very rarely had any problems.. http://www.zonealarm.com/software/extreme-security/ wow the price went up, but you can try the trial to see how you like it. I had it for many years and as a returning customer you get discounted prices.. I really got tired of the hassles & things that did not get caught when using "free" anti virus programs so it was worth it to me to pay $40 a year ( back then it covered 3 pc too) I tested / tried all the major anti virus suites long ago and liked zone alarm the best of all. but the others might be better now.. most trials are 30 days so you can rotate testing them and there are 10 major ones to cycle thru... just be sure to totally remove the old one before adding the new one to test.. In the past Norton has been boggy and very hard to remove, I don't know if that is the same now or not..so i would read about it before trying that one.. Links to the top 2015 AV products ( you can click each product to go to their website on most of these) http://internet-security-suite-revie...enreviews.com/ http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2369749,00.asp http://www.consumersearch.com/intern...urity-software

so sorry you are having these problems bizi
 I have edited your thread title as it is not the forums but your computer having these PUPS etc We do not want others to become alarmed thinking it is here. Doc has a lot of advanced things in place to ensure the forums remain free of any nasty stuff
