Do I have a computer virus?
every time I type something into google or type in an address it takes me to some page that is an advertisement.

I typed in Bing.com in my browser and it gave me a blank page.

I have no idea how it got on here. I haven't d/l anything.

I ran my firewall and security program and now it's fine.

Surf wisely. Firefox is highly recommended. The add-ons are abundant and many are really useful. One of the first to get is NoScript. Scripts on some pages can be VERY hazardous and allow installations surreptitiously.

I do use firefox. I've never had anything like this happen before.

I'm going to go look at the add-ons. Thanks!
