computer behaving badly
I have looked everywhere for the answer to this, and havent found a thing, so i figured i may as well ask and see if any of you have experienced this problem. I just recently have been getting a ton of "Security Warning" messages asking me if i want to download such and such a program from whatever company. Theres 3 of them - "IBIS, LLC", "180Solutions", and "BetterInternet". Of course i always select no, because not only do i not want what they claim to be offering to me, but i have no way of knowing whether or not this is some kind of an attempt to hack my computer or get me to download a virus of some sort. but these things just wont stop. ive gotten atleast 30 just today. i mean wtf, how does this happen? is there any way i can make these things stop showing up on my computer? I have an anti-ad program that could kill any message titled "security warning", which would fix the annoyance, but wouldnt fix the cause, not to mention, id never know if something actually went wrong with my computer, it would be killing all the real security warnings along with these. also, the amount of pop-up spam ive been getting has skyrocketed through the roof, i get spam even with aim and internet explorer closed, and not even touching my computer (inactive). My internet connection is a LAN at my campus, which i dont have the option of turning on or off. any answers would be greatly appreciated.
