My computer all of the sudden wont load web pages completely. It starts loading them but the complete bar at bottom of page goes half way but wont finish. During the loading process a bunch of random pop ups come up. I already have a free anti virus software and spy-ware program. I ran both and eliminated all the threats for viruses and spy-ware but the computer still wont load web pages all the way. The anti-virus software did give me two warnings but it said it could not scan them and I don’t know if the warnings might be a virus.

Spybot Search and Destroy I find works best. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html
What are you currently using? their are many fake ones out there that do even more damage. Also might be some other problem. Also might help to know what those warnings are.

Firstly, antivirus programs will NOT remove these as they are malicious codecs, although they may find reference to them and remove it but upon rebooting it’s back again.
Therefore you need to use a ‘layered’ approach to removing this parasite which has been successful in hundreds of cases:
Remove Restrictions Tool:
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/RRT-Remove-Ristrictions-Tool-Download-68926.html
Download from Softpedia Secure Download (RO), install, run and check all boxes then click Apply and then reboot. This tool re-enables what codecs/viruses have disabled.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?hhTest=1.
Download, install, update and select Full Scan.
Remove all infections that it finds after scan.
Spybot S&D:

How to use:
Download, install and it will ask to check for updates, which should be allowed and will take a few minutes initially, it will then restart the program for updates to take effect. Click on Scan and ensure deep Scan is selected then click the Scan button.
If your desktop has changed or icons are missing also use:

If the problem persists, turn OFF System Restore, Right click My computer > select Properties > System Restore Tab > Tick Turn Off System restore on all drives and scan with the above programs in Safe Mode - tap F8 during boot before Windows splash screen and select Safe Mode.
After scans are complete and machine is clean remember to turn system restore back ON and create a new restore point.
