Something hacked my comp

I was browsing DA and something started to hack my comp. I need to find out how to prevent this. I tuned it off, but I don't know if that stopped it. Help?

 

Hack your comp? Be more specific in whats going on. I dought anyone 'Hacked' your comp. You maybe just got a virus or something.

 

Yes, we need a lot more details than that. What sites did you have up (all of them - don't be embarrassed), what programs did you have running (some programs like Limewire can install viruses at a moment's notice), etc.

 

Well it seemed that a pop up came up and said "Your computer may be in risk of spyware...OH DEAR!" or something like that. So I shut it off without clicking anything because I know that that was pretty mch a trap. I WOULD like to prevent this from happening.

Sorry, I couldn't give details before because I was on my iPod.

 

It was probably just an advertisement, there's a lot like that. It doesn't mean you really have a virus.

And if it was just a pop up, use a pop up blocker like google toolbar.

 

Yeah this happened to me one time at DA.
Said I had about 8 trojans and tried to install some stupid anti trojan thing....
But my computer works just fine so it should be k.

 

There are some programs out there that pose as an anti-virus or anti-trojan, and really install some crap on your comp that's next to impossible to get off. Beware of ANY pop-ups online.

 

Okay. I got it and it works AMAZINGLY! Thank you so much.
