computer virus?
My computer has become very slow along with several other problems I see. Every website I go on runs like a turtle. I also have a huge amount of pop up ads including many for Russian women. On several sites when I click on an article I get either porn sites or a page that is solid mumbo jumbo that consists of letters, numbers, etc. that make no sense. I am one who likes to comment on news articles and on many sites I am no longer able to do that.
This post to DYI has taken me about 10 minutes to type these few words. I don't know if it's a virus but I do know the computer doesn't run like it did just a couple months ago. I run Windows 7 with Google Chrome as the browser. Other than that I don't know much about this machine because I am not very computer literate. Thanks for your help.

Start with anti malware from malwarebytes.org. If the virus blocks the download, I'll explain how to get around that or download Hijack This & post the output here.
