So, after a few hours and $70, the computer looks like it's back in business. I'm cautiously hopeful!
Question: does anyone know how to keep tracking cookies off of your computer, or do I just have to remove them with my anti-virus program whenever it scans the computer?
I added NoScript and Adblocker-Plus to my Firefox browser, so hopefully that should block some of the scripts such as doubleclick. I also went into my Internet options and adjusted the settings to block tracking cookies. I'm just wondering if there's anything else I can put on my computer to protect it.
