Update: Problem solved. I did the malwarebytes thing. What I had was called "rogue adware." The thing I don't understand is that my friend had it and I got a copy of what I use, webroot essentials. It cleaned his computer with 2 sweeps. He tried to use the malware before that and it would not let him run it. With mine the webroot would not get it all but I was able to run the malware.
Anyway the problem is solved. I was trying to use my 10 year old laptop to connect here, but it has windows 98 and shuts down every few minutes. It made it hard but I knew the gurus at FTE would have a fix.
