My Asus laptop running Windows XP has been infected by a virus or malware and pseudo virus-protection pop-ups. I can get to my Internet MSN homepage but no further, pop-ups keep appearing and I end up in a continuous loop of deleting them and then waiting for them to re-appear. Please, what do I do to get back to where I was before they started appearing and how do I stop the problem re-occuring?
