Uhm. Okay. So Malware is this kinda gross thing, and its made by gross people who want your information, so that they can sell it, or so that they can steal your idenity/credit/whatever. So they will do things like pretend to be a message from a friend, or say that you won an ipad or a cruise or any number of desirable things. Once you click on it, it basically has access to your computer and all the information you have there. you're pretty new right? So I'm assuming that you don't have a lot saved on your computer, but I'll go ahead and do a look around and make sure there isn't anything hiding anywhere.
While we're at it, we'll get you set up with Chrome. It's way more secure. And I have this anti-virus software stuff that I think will really help you. I would stay away from internet Explorer, and probably just use google for any of your search needs.
