Websites redirect and video ads popping up/audio ads run on desktop randomly.

We are running on a Windows Vista Ultimate (pretty old) we got it in 2007, I think.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz 2.39 GHz

Ram: 4.00 GB

32-bit OS

(not sure if any of that helps but just in case)

We hardly ever shut our computer down, just turn the monitor off. Often times, when I turn the monitor back on, there are pop up ads (sometimes explicit and I have children!) and sometimes there will be an audio ad running but no visual.

We use Firefox for online access and 9 times out of 10, the website we type in is not where Firefox takes us.

The computer is running super slow as well.

Any help is much appreciated!

Many thanks!

Barbara
