    you didn't listen to what he said, more than likely one reason for you to be having these problems is because you have no anti-virus or firewall not even a anti-malware programs. You need a god damn anti-virus and firewall for christ sake if your relying on windows firewall to save you it wont help because it has nothing else to help combat whatever bugs are trying to get into your system. The only thing in which you said you used suggested by browntoa was the Vundo when he posted those links for the anti-virus and firewall it seems you totally overlooked it let alone ignored it. Be more responsible with your laptop and take better care of it otherwise you wont have it for much longer.

    I don't know what to do to help other than saying if you're on a wireless connection, it will slow down, just happens, is a bitch.

    Also, capitals only begin a sentence or proper noun, not every damn word!

    I'll just re-iterate what the others said

    get a real firewall

    load the anti-virus I posted

    load windows defender

    none of the above will protect you 100% if you click on every link that pops up offering you free stuff, if you use torrents or P2P or open if you open every file that is emailed to you

    and if you are gaming then use an ethernet(Lan) connection where you can !!

    only way to beat the pop ups is to follow the advice I gave

    you still have not answered the question , have you run Vundofix ??

    Download VirtumundoBegone and save it to your desktop.

    http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/VirtumundoBeGone.exe

    Now reboot into Safe Mode.


    This can be done tapping the F8 key as soon as you start your computer


    You will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode.


    Select safe mode with networking using your arrow keys on the keyboard and then press enter.


    When you computer reaches the desktop make sure you log in as the same user which you had performed the previous steps,


    Once you are logged into safe mode, double-click VirtumundoBeGone.exe file you just downloaded and follow the instructions.


    Exit when it has finished, and reboot back to normal mode.


    Merged Post:


    next download Ad-Aware

    http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

    and spybot

    http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest...tml?tag=lst-0-1

    install and update both online

    install ccleaner from

    www.ccleaner.com


    and then scan to delete all temp files

    then boot into safe mode as before and then scan with

    1)Avast

    when completed then scan with

    2)Spybot

    when complete scan with

    3) Adaware

    then boot into normal mode and see how it all is

    well gee don't you think you should? If you get firefox theres a plugin called AdBlock Plus, download that then search for SUPERanti-spyware, download it and install then run it or you can try spyware doctor. and for this problem your having with the ME theme im guessing some of the OS files are corrupted because ive gone through a similar problem before.
