I just thought I'd let everyone know what was wrong with my computer - in case anyone else has the same problem. I was not only unable to log in here, but I couldnt type anything while online, my webiste wouldnt show the updated version, of course many pop ups and a variety of other weird small things that were going wrong.

Apparently there were over 2,000 malicious spywares, adwares, maulwares and bad software pieces. I didnt have any virus' though. I have 2 spyware programs I run all the time: Spybot & Aluria Spyware. Apparently they aren't enough - especially considering the shopping I do online. I will pick up the computer tomorrow - they have installed another couple of programs that if I run once a wekk will keep it clean. If anyone is interested in knowing which ones these computer guys recommended - let me know.
