Hi Roy sounds like it needs a full re install of windows, do you have all the disks and everything that came with it?

I am happy to do an overhaul on it for you if you want to bring it up the hill to me

Pop Up advertisements can be a real pest and can be missed by your Virus Software.   There is a freely downloadable program called "Malwarebyte" which will clean out the pop up advertisements.   I use the free "MS Security Essentials" as my virus software and find it most satisfactory.
