Nothing in life is free and you get what you pay for.

Seriously there's Microsoft Essentials, just google it, but it is severely lacking although if you're in a pinch you can try it. You need to buy one. Or check with your service provider and see if they supply one. Comcast does, not sure about any of the others.

specifically what is the problem, check startup under msconfig and see if you have any strings ending with "tssd"

malwarebytes and rkill in combination are great.

How do I do that?

I'm a computer n00b.

Basically I have a virus that uses my internet to spam search shit while I'm on the computer...It's strange.

Sorry Gator. Norton is one of the worst companies out there. They survive because of long term deals with major manufacturers and IP rights from code written years ago.

I use Avast and run Malwarebytes every now and then.
